Mark Arrington Music: Home
Welcome to my site! You can order my music here, and you can hear clips of me playing with my bands, on others' recording projects, feis music (Irish dance competitions), and solo recordings in multiple styles.
The calendar shows where I'm playing as a feis musician, with my bands, or with other groups. Give me a call for bookings or for your recording poject.
I also teach fiddle, guitar, banjo, and mandolin. Call me for more details.
I hope you enjoy browsing around the site. Leave your email in the field below so we can stay in touch!
Special Offer - Free Set Dances!!! - April 14, 2012
I’m offering for free of some of the sets that are seldom danced to, in hopes that someone will want to give them a try! They’re beautiful, old, complex tunes that were popular years ago, and hopefully will be revived. Those are Youghal Harbor, Rodney’s Glory, Hurling Boys, and Rub The Bag, and Miss Brown’s Fancy. This will be in the “Special Offer” section at the top of the Order Music page.
New CD for WIDA and other Open-Platform-Feis dancers! - April 7, 2012
I just completed the CD "Music for WIDA Grades 1-10" for the World Irish Dance Association and other dance groups that require different speeds than An Coimisiun dancers. All of the music is originally from the Champtrax and Feis Favorites CDs, but with the speeds changed. It's available on the Order Music page, and it will be downloadable from iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon, and other sites in a week or two.
