So, what's on your shelf?

We missed a few
The Dubliners (how were they left off????)
The Levellers (pogue-ish)
The Elders - Any in the midwest area knows how good these are
Celtic Soul - Small band I found downloads for on amazon for free

otherwise many of the already mentioned items.

I went throught the lists a couple of times and don't believe I saw Silly Wizard. I love Silly Wizard and have a lot of their CDs. Another I didn't see here is Bonnie Rideout; in my opinion one of the greatest Scottish fiddle players alive! I have a few of her CDs and have been to a concert. Fantastic!!

By the way, Bonnie Rideout, the greatest (IMO) of Scottish fiddle players, is as American as American can be. I hope this irony is not lost on those posting on another thread concerning non-Scots and their ability to study and learn about tartans and kilts, as compared to those raised in a "Scottish household."

If you ever get a chance to go to a concert - don't think of it as a bunch of Brigadoonery. Go to the concert. She's fantastic!

Greatest living, perhaps, but the greatest by no means. I've some archival recordings of James Scott Skinner which blow me away 100 years after the tracks were first laid down. More recently, Johnny Cunningham (may God rest his soul) was a revelation to hear playing. Johnny was also a raconteur of the first water, and lots of fun to tip the odd brew back with.

They were a good group. They have now disbanded.
Two of the main members are now part of Rathkeltair.

I don't know who could design such a great shirt!
Do you Hank???

He designed them. :mrgreen:
I guess that's the reason he
hasn't bought a Celtic CD in Years. HA! HA!

I'm surprised nobody's got Runrig or Donnie Munro on their shelves. I'd recommend, too, the CD produced by Coisir Lunnainn http://coisirlunnainn.org.uk - the London Gaelic Choir - after the last Mod in Perth.

One of my wifes co-workers loaned me her copy of "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" - a band from Las Vegas. They rock! In some ways, they remind me of the Pogues, but the vocals are a bit more polished.

They are not, by the way, the group Darby O'Gill that has the aversion to squirrels.
