Grahams Celtic Folk Links

Last Updated 8th November 2002.

 

The tune playing is my setting of Planxty Irwin, a tune by O'Carolan.
I will be expanding this page to include links with useful stuff for folk musicians of all types.
I have a wide range of interests so if you know of any links which I've missed
please send me an e-mail to let me know so I can include them.

I have checked out all these links recently so you shouldn't be wasting any time with dead-ends. And some of them are fantastic. Love the Contemplator's folk pages and pages on Carolan.
