A favorite tune of ours is Barndance for Nia composed by Dermott Bryne that Jonathon brought back from the Catskills Irish Arts Week last year into what we call some 'Bangin' Polkas' brought to us by the polka fanatic, Sean. This set of polkas came from the Paudie O'Connor, Aoife Ní Chaoimh, Paul De Grae album "Didn't She Dance and Dance" Nelly Cleare's / Ellen's Delight / Danny Green's Polkas

We absolutely love these waltzes, Sunday’s Well (Caitlín Nic Gabhann) & The Diamond (Billy McComiskey) and was wonderful to see couples waltzing on the dance floor 💚

Thank you for a wonderful festival showcasing the many different cultures that make up Middle Tennessee 🌍 💙
