Re: Jewish/Irish music

[Pete Rushefsky <klezbanjo...>]

Paul Gifford has tracked down some information about Isaac Isaacs, an 18th 
century tsimblist in Dublin-- see links below (search for Isaac Isaacs).  Also, 
unrelated (I think) to music, Dublin had a Jewish mayor at some point in the 
first half of the 20th century.

Chanuka. One of the tracks has a tune that's like a jazzed up Hatikva 
beginning. Yes, I'm aware that this beginning isn't all that unique....
But I began looking into Irish/Jewish culture and finding that I can find 
that indeed there is a strong albeit small community - progressive orthodox 
in particular - but I cannot find any specific articles or references to the 
music.
Any suggestions?
