Music for set dancing
Sets can be danced to any music that is set at the right timing and tempo – reels, jigs, polkas, slides. Apart from Irish traditional music, there is much other music that is similar to or influenced by Irish – Scottish, Cape Breton, bluegrass, rhythm and blues.

However, to make life easy, there are music albums / CD’s that are recorded specifically to dance to particular sets. Most dance or ceili bands in Ireland have recorded at least one CD, however, many of them are often only available if you are lucky enough to dance to the band performing live!

The best listing you will find of set dancing music is on the Set Dancing News website under Library – www.setdancingnews.net
