A popular set of lively, spirited and vivacious polkas from 19th Century Ireland - heard in many Irish traditional music pub sessions - performed by whistle, guitar and fiddle. Egan's Polka leads into Maurice Manley's Polka at 0:49 - both are upbeat, driving and merry. 100% live performance. This track has two titles because this is traditionally how many Irish pub tunes are performed, as a double set of short tunes, the first leading directly into the second.
A pensive, foreboding opening builds up to an all-out rock track from about 50 seconds. Retro, Classic hard rock sound, similar to Led Zeppelin etc. Good for sports, extreme sports, action, commercials, motorsports, racing, trailers, sport footage montages, etc. Something different and retro in a very cool way. Check out the Underscore version too, for a different perspective.
The Chaffpool Post tune leading into the Hills of Tara (at 1:31) - both are popular barn dances from around 19th Century Ireland. Light, happy and upbeat, this set of tunes are heard often in Irish traditional pub sessions - in this occassion with piano accompaniment to banjo and fiddle playing the main tune. 100% live performance.

Fun, upbeat and lively Irish double jig set. Connaughtman's Rambles opens with banjo, while fiddle joins in at 0:29.

A traditional Irish double jig (Haste to the Wedding) which moves into slip Jig (Kitty Come Down to Limerick) at 1:00. Pounding bodhran drives both spirited jigs which are played by fiddle and mandolin.

Savage, Jarring
A military march for Snares, Field Drums and Bass Drums. The army is marching to war. Good for a civil war scene.
Punk / Rock / Up-Tempo. This track puts you in the middle of a crowd at a live Punk-Rock gig. The slow paced intro is only a taster of whats to come. Once it kicks in, prepare to rock out! Wild and punky.
Powerful rock instrumental with elements of Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Hendrix
A charming, slowish Ska in minor key with a nosey trumpet lead line, slightly comic. There is also an underscore version without the trumpet, which is great as a background groove, has more of a reggae feel, and shows off the cool bass line.
A Hot Club of France style jazzy piece where the first 30 seconds are in jazzy ballad style, and then the tempo picks up with acoustic riffing on the 8ths. Charming, warm and irresistable. The underscore and the shorter versions omit the ballad opening and go straight to the main part.
Suspenseful, dramatic, ethereal, epic, spacious, moody, atmospheric cinematic rock track that gradually builds in intensity. Starts with dhol drums & various synths join in as it goes. Exciting, tense, thrilling, rhythmically hypnotic & climactic. Would suit action / thriller / sports / combat / crime type projects.
Simple ethnic flute melody.
