In the third installment of this four-part series, Brian Hughes delves into the lively world of jigs and reels—styles that are synonymous with traditional Irish music. Once again filmed in the picturesque Athy Library, a converted Dominican Church from the 1960s, Brian shares his thoughts on these faster-paced tunes that form the backbone of Ireland's rich musical heritage. In this video, Brian explores how jigs and reels bring a unique energy and vibrancy to Irish music, making them a favorite among musicians and listeners alike. As he prepares for his upcoming album, Brian considers how these lively rhythms will play a central role in his new compositions, capturing the spirit of Irish tradition.
