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.

Celtic recording I received for
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?
