The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
This is named after traveling dance teachers whose pride and patience produced pupils of notable dancing prowess. They were known to be selective with their tune preferences. I learned this from a reel-to-reel recording of unidentified musicians recorded by a co-worker.
