It's Funny that Blue Cheese, edited his original post to say 'thread closed!' ages ago. Apparently not my friend!

LOL, well beginner's mind doesn't have a "thread closed" clause. How to play Celtic tunes -- not just Irish ones -- is not a case-closed topic and the many techniques and approaches for this style are still being discovered and worked out. It's a huge topic with many different avenues, plots and subplots.
People, of course, are always free to initiate and leave a thread whenever they choose, but the topic doesn't die as a result of someone having answered his own question or thinking that a thread is closed (for him).
Notice how this thread isn't titled: How to play Irish tunes, which is a different topic, though closely related.
So many tunes, so little time.
Thank you for posting!

I still suggest getting the hard cover book and CD together. It's now now in Mel Bay's "best seller" category, and they've done a wonderful job with distribution worldwide, also found in libraries.
I am here to help, anytime.
All the best,
Tom

@Tom Hanway - I hope you don't think I was suggesting the conversation should end - I've been following and enjoying it, as I'd like to know more about this music. It's just that the 'thread closed!' comment amused me. :)
On another tack, what do people think of Ken Perlman's Celtic and New England Tunes for Clawhammer Banjo?
