Another cheapo compilation

The best thing about these cheapo ceili compilations is that they have rakes of tunes that you'll want to play in sessions and the ceili format with its pretty straight rendering of tunes (the variety of instruments more or less forces everyone to dispense with ornamentation) CAN, sometimes, make it easier for people to pick up tunes by ear!
