Just flagging a website which I came across recently which I've found really useful.
Jon Antonsson, a flute player from Sweden, has some terrific resources at his website https://jonantonsson.wixsite.com/tunes
In particular I find the cello drones which he's provided to be helpful when playing tunes. I'm a big fan of the drone as the purest, most minimal, least intrusive form of accompaniment...
And I love his bodhrán metronome. I've never got on with metronomes to be honest, but after years of playing in sessions my ear locks into the simple (but not "too" simple) bodhrán patterns).
Oh - and his recordings of his playing, both the slow versions and the "session-speed" versions - are excellent play-along aids to help practise new tunes.
Feel free to chime in with other web resources that we trad players might find useful...
