Studio session gone wrong turned into my best creative accident yet.

Fleadh Cheoil competition preparation. The pressure of competitive traditional music.

Fiddle session at the local pub. Four players, no sheet music, pure tradition.

How I build my setlists. There's actually a science to the song order.
