Celtic Music: traditional and contemporary

[Dall_Piobaire]

What celtic music do you listen to, both trad and more contemporary?

I like most all of it, fav's would have to be, among the many: Tannahill Weavers, Battlefield Band, Altan, Gaelic Storm, to name just a few.

That of course doesn't include all the pipe music to which I listen. For the pipers, and non pipers alike, what's your fancy?

I don't have a favorite artist, but listen to Accuradio alot, usually traditional celtic.

[McMurdo]

Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, Uncle Hamish and the Hooligans, Hunting McLeod, Celtic Women, Mike Ogletree, Seven Nations to name a few.
