Hi, I've been wanting to learn some Gaelic songs to sing. However, all of the ones I have found so far are pretty slow and don't seem they would fit within the mood of a session. Does anyone have any suggestions for good Gaelic tunes that fiddles/flutes/guitars/ etc can play along with?
Cheers

A number of dance tunes have lyrics associated with them. A well-known example would be the jig Hag With The Money/Wealthy Widow/Cailleach An Airgid. Lyrics here: https://songsinirish.com/si-mhaimeo-i-lyrics/
