Here’s The Rare Old Mountain Dew, a classic, high-spirited Irish song celebrating the illicit art of making — and enjoying — Ireland’s infamous traditional moonshine, poitín.

This lively arrangement is brought to life by a powerhouse OAIM lineup:

🎶 Carla Beggan – voice
🎶 Alan Finn – accordion
🎶 MJ McMahon – guitar
🎶 Kirsten Allstaff – whistle
🎶 Maitiú Curley – concertina

Taken from one of our live Irish music sessions, this clip captures the lift, energy and craic of traditional Irish music in full flow.

We go live on YouTube on the first Sunday of every month with more tunes, songs and session music.
