Did you know Irish dance dates back over 2,000 years?

The earliest records of Irish dance appear in texts from the 11th century. Traveling dance masters of the 18th century formalized the steps we know today.

DID YOU KNOW?

The uilleann pipes are considered the most technically complex bagpipe in the world.

Unlike Scottish pipes, uilleann pipes are bellows-blown and played seated. They have a two-octave range and were nearly lost during the Famine era before being revived in the 20th century.

Have you ever heard uilleann pipes live? Drop a 👍if they give you chills!

Pictured: Tim Hill, part of our Kerry Traditional Band on many past tours, and an AMAZING uilleann pipe player. You can check out his music here >>> irishtune.info/album/THill/

Did you know that in Irish Dancing there are two types of footwear:

Hard Shoes (Treble Jigs/Hornpipes): Similar to tap shoes, these have fiberglass tips and heels for making percussive sounds.

Soft Shoes (Ghillies): Flexible, ballet-like shoes worn by females for faster, lighter dances like reels and jigs. Boys also have a Ghillie type soft shoe, with the addition of a fiber glass heel, similar to what's on a hard shoe, so they can add intricate 'click' sounds to their dances.

Did you know, Newgrange in County Meath is older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza!

This passage tomb was constructed around 3200 BCE (over 5000 years ago). Its most remarkable feature is a roof box that allows sunlight to illuminate the inner chamber during the winter solstice an engineering marvel that still works perfectly today. Have you experienced the Newgrange solstice? Tell us about it.

Thanks to Irish artist James Coyle, Rathlin Island, for this beautiful painting of Newgrange.

Created around 800 AD, the Book of Kells contains some of the most intricate artwork ever produced by human hands.

This illuminated manuscript of the four Gospels was likely created by Columban monks on the island of Iona and brought to Kells, County Meath, for safekeeping during Viking raids. It is now housed at Trinity College Dublin.

Have you seen the Book of Kells in person? It's worth the trip to Dublin!

🎵 IRISH INSTRUMENT SPOTLIGHT: The Fiddle 🎻.

It's the same instrument as a violin, but has a different SOUL! The Irish fiddling has regional styles: Sligo is fast & flowing (made famous by Michael Coleman), while Donegal is driving & rhythmic with short, punchy bows.

See & hear this beautiful instrument played LIVE by Sumaia Jackson on our 6 California city tour, March 11-17.
