The first name that came to mind for me for "Irish tunes" was David Bromberg. I know that he has an affinity for music from those parts (despite his NY Jewish roots). That said, I had to revert to my tried and true resource: archive.org. A search there for Irish/folk brings up numerous alternatives
- from which I present the following: Brigan Ensemble playing "One Set Reel". You can find lots more information online than I can (or should) provide here about the "reel", but basically it is a dance style that often includes a fiddle (and a stomping rhythm)
The One Set Reel recording here is part of a free and legal file set from jamendo.com by way of archive.org
It is backed by a solid strumming guitar line with numerous winds: several flutes of some kind and what appears to be an accordion.
Since my first edit, Darius has dug a little deeper, and reports that Brigan Ensemble appears to be an Italian trio who focus on Celtic music.
