Some sites related to traditional music and Irish flutes:
ABC Music: Did you know that you can find hundreds of free traditional Irish music tunes on the net? Check out these sites to learn more. I use a program called BarFly for my Macintosh which allows me to view, listen to and print abc tunes into a sheet music format! It works very well, and is a free download.
