Tempo to aim for in Irish tunes

[AgnesM]

I don’t have an answer, just tagging along to find out the answer. Specifically “session speed”

Hi, Rosie & Agnes.

Most irish reels are played at a fairly quick clip. Kevin seems to range betweein 104-110 BPM for his reels, and Niall between 110-120 BPM for his. If you’re looking for some ideas on how to speed up your playing of these Trad Irish fiddle tunes, you should definitely check out Kevin’s lesson How to Play Trad Irish Fiddle Tunes up to Speed.

I hope that’s helpful, and all the best!
