    I agree on Tribial music - Albannach. B
    Before they were Albannach they
    were Clan an Drumma - http://www.clannandrumma.com/
    If you can find any off their old CD's they are excellent as well
    as the new one.

    One of the absolute best groups for the traditional sound is the Tannahill Weavers. Outstanding musicians and great guys. If you get the chance to see them in person, they're even better.

    Look for the CDs from the group Silly Wizard too. Their live CD is one of the best on the market. Again... great musicians and great guys.

    For those who like The Cheiftains, they have a few CDs that mix Celtic trads with American trads in "Another Country" and the "Down The Old Plank Road" releases. There's nothing like originality!

    For Scottish traditional music, I'd like to second the Old Blind Dogs, Tannahil Weavers and Silly Wizard - they all are on high rotation at my place.

    For Irish traditional I really enjoy Dervish. Not only are they great musicians, but they are terrific researchers, digging deep into old Sligo tunes. I guess some would argue they are not really traditional, but I also love Solas.

    Have you checked out the "NPR Curious Listener's Guide to Celtic Music" by Fiona Ritchie? I bought it as soon as it came out and I have found it to be a fabulous guide. When I first got into Celtic music I was just overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. This book really helped me start building up my collection.

    I'm quite fond of Alasdair Fraser's fiddle music: his web site

    In particular, the Legacy of the Scottish Fiddle, Vol. 1 is one of my favorites. Wonderful playing!!!

    Fiona Richie...sheee's beauuuuutiful! [girgle, girgle, slobber, drool]

    I HIGHLY recommend Green Linnet Records for a host of trad artist from all the Celtic Nations. Last time I was on the site you could download many samples from virtually all the albums...so FREE taste tests!!! Works for me...
