What you’d expect from Rough Guide. Eclectic but universally strong mix of music. Both traditional & contemporary, instrumental & vocals. Typically it’s all good, but check out these especially:

1. Fun fast/midtempo jam for flute, whistle, and guitar.
2. Light vocal track w/strings.
4. Female vocal duet w/strings & whistle. Midtempo.
7. Uileean pipes & guitar in a fast set of dances.
8. Sweet female vocals & drum in a bright, midtempo tune.
9. Lively, uptempo fiddle duet.
13. Solo flute. Mournful & lovely at first, then into a fast reel.
16. Flutes, whistles, guitar & vox in a midtempo folk song.
17. Upbeat blend of fiddle & harmonica.
19. Sad, slow song in a warm & rich female voice.
21. A classic reel leads into 2 more bright & bouncy dances.
22. Banjo & whistle in fast & catchy reels. Yay!
