NLTrad is a small, curated collection of traditional music organized in an online, searchable database. My focus is on Newfoundland and Irish tunes that are played at local sessions here in St. John's, NL, Canada.

Thanks to Jason Noseworthy for the image above, taken at a session in Greensleeves on May 23rd, 2021!

Tunes in this collection will always be freely available.
