I took a look and it was GREAT! BUT..... there are only a few tunes/sets on there.....
Anyone know of other similar sites that do this kind of thing? For those of us starved for access to real sessions these virtual ones are a great alternative.....
Carol, you can always play along with the audio or videos on the Comhaltas web site: http://comhaltas.ie/music/
Another option is Ben Lennon's cds, which feature lots of common session tunes played at a nice lope, not racing away. Rossinver Braes and Within a Mile of Kilty are both good for playing along with.
Completely off-topic, but earlier this week I drove through Rossinver and came up against a herd of cattle being driven towards me. I moved on after the cows had passed and who should be sitting in a car waiting behind them but Mr. Lennon himself, chatting to the herdsman!

Re: Virtual Sessions
I wholeheartedly second Harry's recommendation -- I bought a copy of Séamus Creagh's 'Tunes for Practice' on impulse during Willie Week, and it's a fantastic resource.
