There is Dublin by day which showcases the best shops around; Dublin by night offers places to go to especially if you are looking for musical perfomance. You can check out who’s in town . Mostly it’s pop acts like Pink and Shayne Ward. But then again there’s this section for traditional music that you would really love.

The Welsh Triple Harp

Wow talk about a bunch of strings! This instrument is not your typical Celtic harp because:

The Welsh triple harp (telyn deires) is a type of harp using three rows of strings instead of the common single row. The Welsh triple harp today is found mainly among players of traditional Welsh folk music.

The sound is beautiful as any Harp sound can get. It has a deeper quality than most Celtic harps because of its bigger size.

For a harp maker’s site you can find it here

Watch and listen  how it is being played here
