Bravo to Valencian Kilted for mentioning Hevia, and La Boutinne Souriante (the Smiling Boot). Didn't see the Galician band Milladoiro listed. Likewise some female vocalists like Susan McKeown, Mary Black, Mary Jane Lamond, Karan Casey (formerly of Solas), and Connie Dover. Tim O'Brien has great Celtic and Celtic-influenced music on some of his recordings, so I'd advise those with interest in same to look through his catalogue. Lunasa was mentioned, I hope? Boys of the Lough . . .Wolfe Tones. . .Shooglenifty . . . Jura Ceilidh Band . . .the late Stan Rodgers . . . some of Garnet Rodgers tunes

Gordon Duncan absolutely kicks a$$ on pipes. . .

I'll have to look through my collection for more suggestions. Some rather obscure, but with some great tracks.
