Mel Bay's Complete Irish Fiddle Player discography
mp3s available too!

This is a personal selection of Traditional Irish fiddle music that will make a good starting point. Although CDs of the older (and deceased) players are sometimes difficult to find they are often available on mp3s via the links below. Even listening to the previews of the tunes can help us understand the styles offered by the different fiddlers.
