Irish popular dances consist for the most part of jigs, reels and hornpipes. They may be played on practically any instrument, for it is the tune and the lilt of the rhythm which counts, rather than the tine of a certain instrument (PDF lines notes p. 4)

Recordings used for Folkways record FW 6818, "Irish Popular Dances," featuring various artists. "The dances given here are among the oldest of the long and round dances" (PDF liner notes p. 9)
