“Don't think twice, if you are a fan of "trad" do this tour!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2010

We were a bit hesitant , but joined this tour and so glad we did. The tour leader was a bevy of information about traditional Irish music, very entertaining. She was not just a fountain of knowledge but also pleasant to chat with. It was a good way to visit three nice pubs that feature traditional music. We were in Europe for two weeks and this was a highlight, if not the highlight of our trip.

The Trad Music Trail was one of the best things we did in Ireland. Joe and Trish are very talented musicians who know a ton about traditional music and its history. They take you to a few pubs, play music and are really helpful and interesting folks. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat!

Joe and Trish are passionate and knowledgeable performers of Irish music. Joe has a quick wit and great patter. The "trail" goes to three traditional pubs and through reels, reels, drinking songs and satire. Even the grandkids were entranced.

“Wonderful way to spend an evening”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2010

My husband and I both loved the evening we spent listening to Joe and Tricia. It was recommended to us by our B&B owner. They are wonderful musicians who obviously enjoy sharing Irish musics with other folks. Make sure to include an evening with them in your travels.

“I wish the Trad Trail would follow us to every town...don't miss it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2010

Joe and Trish are amazing!. I'm so glad we started our trip in Kilkenny and did the "Trad Trail" with them on our first night. It was a great introduction to the music and gave it much more meaning for me. I promise you'll be tapping your foot by the end (at the very least). Get the CD too. It has been the soundtrack for our entire trip so far....great music.
