It has been a few years and I think the band is now disbanded but I love the music of a group called Silly Wizard. There were two Cunningham brothers who were the phenomenal core musicians of the group and I believe they have gone on to individual careers, as has the lead singer, although for the life of me I can hear his voice but not remember his name.

Dougie MacLean also.

There used to be a celtic music hour on NPR Saturday early evenings called Thistle and Shamrock that showcased celtic musicians, and is where I first heard celtic music on a regular basis. Anybody know if that is still around? Host was a woman named Fiona Ritchie (not sure how I rememberd that tidbit either) I believe.
