As well as being the administrative headquarters of Comhaltas, the [Cultúrlann na hÉireann](/locations/detail/culturlann/ “Cultúrlann na hÉireann”) in Monkstown, Co. Dublin is a hive of music activity with scores of music classes for all age groups and regular sessions on four nights per week. Comhaltas Projects Officer and fiddle player Brian Prior began leading the Wednesday night sessions about three years ago. Brian has produced two books, [Foinn Seisiún I](/shop/detail/foinn_seisiun_book_volume_1/ “Foinn Seisiún Book I”) and [Foinn Seisiún II](/shop/detail/foinn_seisiun_book_volume_2/ “Foinn Seisiún Book II”), each containing over 100 tunes arranged in selections of three tunes as played in the Monkstown sessions. Brian expects to have Book III launched later this year. Books 1 and 2, along with CDs of all selections are available from Comhaltas. Here Brian introduces a selection of three polkas from the session which features over twenty musicians. The polkas are called “Little Diamond”, “The Murroe Polka” and “The Maids of Ardath” (Toormore No. 2).
