Most of you won't know that I grew up on the east coast of Canada, where much of the music is inspired by Scottish and Irish roots. When I was in high school, I wanted nothing more than to learn how to play the bodhrán or fiddle so I could play at all the best pubs or kitchen parties.
I thought I would share a few of my favourite tunes here, as it will give you an idea of some of the tunes I pictured playing at Oonagh's family pub. (Most of the artists are Canadian, but you still get the idea.)
1. Rocky Road to Dublin - The Dubliners
2. The Chemical Worker's Song/Process Man - Great Big Sea
3. Barrett's Privateers - The Irish Descendants
4. Sam Hall - The Irish Descendants
5. The Fisherman's Lament - Great Big Sea
6. Where the Mountain Meets the Bay - Buddy Wasisname & The Other Fellers
7. Boston and St. John's - Great Big Sea
8. How Did We Get From Saying I Love You - Great Big Sea
9. Time Brings - Great Big Sea
10. Salt Water Joys - Buddy Wasisname & The Other Fellers
11. Sarah - Buddy Wasisname & The Other Fellers
12. Peter Street - The Irish Descendants
