Irish Songs - 03/09/16 04:41 PM

I need some suggestions I am doing a show on sat night and the customer wants some Irish stuff nit really what I do but I can do just about anything

I have already

Irish eyes are smiling
wild Irish rose
Danny boy

I need a couple of good beer drinking songs

this is a stage show I am doing with a pretty good audience so something up beat would help

if anybody has a midi file w/lyric and chords I would love to have a couple fast up beat songs


I am going to do the other stage stuff for the rest of the hour so any suggestions please advise ..

I don't know if you have seen this web site. Irish tunes in midi files and lyrics. http://www.contemplator.com/tunebook/ireland.htm

The Irish Washerwoman
Sidewalks of New York
Irish Stew (Great line dance song, too.)
My Wild Irish Rose
When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
Galway Bay
Danny Boy

I do not have any midi files for any of these, I do them all live using onboard styles in the S-950 and a couple third party styles.

Keep in mind that there are only about three styles for the vast majority of Irish songs - waltz, ballad and march. However, when you go crazy wild you can add in a bit of bluegrass, which worked for me when I recorded this rendition of Irish Stew a couple years ago while doing a Saint Paddy's Day party using the PSR-3000. Irish Stew

Another little diddy that I performed I call a Celtic mix, which uses the Irish Dance style on the PSR-S-950. Celtic Mix

Now, if I were half the musician that some folks on this site were, both of the links I posted would have likely sounded a lot better, but I managed to get by with them.

Good luck,
