There's a lot of things that go into the making of a great traditional group - a respect for the gift that's been handed on to you, a knowledge of the repertoire, an ear for how to put old pieces together in new ways, an ability to write new pieces in the spirit of the tradition and straight up instrumental chops. But the magic ingredient of truly great trad bands is fun - one of the key reasons the music has lasted so long and in the right hands still sounds good today.
