| Hi there, We’re back with another edition of “5 Tune Friday.” Want to take your knowledge of trad music to the next level? Or looking to be “session-ready” with a wide repertoire of tunes under your belt? This is your weekly chance to do that. And for this week’s edition, we’re turning once again to Irishtune.info. They’ve done a tremendous job in figuring out which Irish tunes were the most recorded over various decades. This week, you’ll see the top 5 most recorded tunes of one of my favorite decades of Irish trad music, the 1970s. This decade was a regular renaissance. Featuring my favorite album, The Bothy Band’s “1975,” and countless other classics, the 1970s was a peak time for Irish trad music. By analyzing 3,205 tune recordings during the 1970s, IrishTune.info found a total of 1,567 unique tunes. We’ve put together a list of the top 5 most recorded tunes below for you. The left link will give you the sheet music + ABC notation. And the right link will take you to a recording. Start playing any of these tunes, and you’ll be in great shape at your next session.
