Kevin Burke is all that and more on fiddle. I was lucky enough to meet him back in 2003 in Pittsburgh during the Celtic Fiddle Festival tour with Christian LeMaitre and Johnny Cunningham. He is a very real gentleman.
On a side note, Ged Foley is no mean fiddler himself as well as a very good Northumbrian smallpiper (he is responsible for piquing my interest in that instrument through his work with The House Band)and singer, and a brilliant guitarist. I've never heard anyone else get as much music from a guitar as Ged.
