At the end of our first full day in Ireland, our Tour Director Thomas Deasy took us to the Alexander Knox & Co Pub to hear a group of great Irish musicians under the direction of John Custy.
We had the pleasure to listen to four young musicians, Maisey, Owen, Stephen, and Eileen who played an hour's worth of traditional jigs, reels, slides, and marches for us. We were able to ask them questions about their passion for music and they taught us about the harp, fiddles, flute, tin whistles, and the melodeon or button accordion.
