So a few months ago I decided I was simply far too wealthy and set about buying a mandolin. I've been coming along fairly well (I can play guitar so I already have the callouses and [minimal ] dexterity) but I've had trouble finding Irish music with discernable mandolin in it.
Can anyone recommend any artists/albums?

I'm just trying to get a better feel for what I should be aiming for in my playing. I know sessions would be a great help but a) I don't know of one in my area and b) I'll be too self-conscious about my playing for another few months at least to even show up
