 If you have written a song and want it included on the site then send it to me, it doesn't have to be anything
special, it could be a tribute tune to someone you admire in the folk world or a protest song like Christy Moore or
Luke Kelly sang. Include whatever chords or music you have to accompany the song. Also include some information as to why
you wrote the song and what inspired you. If using an original traditional tune then leave the guitar work to me. If
you have an mp3 or youtube video to go with the song all the better. There are already over 100 songs already sent in
by novice singers and songwriters.

The following is a few heart felt words sent to me from Sean Connell in America whose appreciation for
Irish folk music has grown substantially over the years thanks to this site.Thanks for the help.
I wish I could shake your hand. I am 31 years old and have played the guitar since I was 15 or so. I have always been into
folk music, I incorporated some Irish folk into my American folk. But I was never as focused on Irish music as I am now. I
owe it all to you. I have been using this site for several years. I cant be sure how long. I think I was with you since real
early because I have seen the site grow exponentially. I remember when it was alot smaller. I try to turn as many people on
to it as possible. Anyway, this site alone has been the reason for my rapid learning of Irish folk, my confidence to go to
the sessions, and reaching my ultimate goal of forming my own band with a fiddler and a mandolin/bohdran player with me on
guitar and vocal. I cant thank you enough. I only hope we can have a session together someday. Keep up the good work, you
are the only one who is doing it, and you are doing it for free, because you love Irish music, just like me--- Sean Connell RI USA originally from Boston
