There are county, provincial and ‘all-Ireland’ levels of competition that take place in Britain, North America and Ireland. These all lead to the grand final ‘The All-Ireland Fleadh’ which takes place in Ireland each August and is truly a feast of Irish music, both for musicians and audiences that flock to it in their thousands. Fleadh Tunes for the Flute teaches suitable tunes for competitors at the Fleadh, however, it is also for any flute player who wants to learn Irish tunes best suited to the flute.
