The recent posts from garthman and from MattSkibaIsGOD inspired me to start this thread.

:)

 

Below are my current favorites.

:love:

 

Feel free to add yours!

 

I do have an ulterior motive to this topic in that I hope to find more pieces to add to my someday-I-will-learn-THAT list.

MattS posted a clip above of the great Micheael O'Domhnaill (of the brilliant "Bothy Band" who in my book are even better than Planxty) doing "As I Roved Out". Here is another song from him - the beautiful "Tiocfaidh an Samhradh":

And here is another from the Bothy Band with the lovely Triona ni Domhnaill taking the vocal on "Do you love an apple".

Welsh folk music is hard to come by but here is our lovely Cerys Matthews doing a slightly upbeat version of Lisa Lan - an old song, as you will discern from its modal qualities.

PS. A nice bit of E-bow work on the electric guitar.

I have some cool tracks from Duck Baker and Pierre Bensusan on this killer CD called Celtic Fingerstyle Vol. 1: Ramble to Cashel. It also features Martin Simpson, Pat Kirtley, El McMeen, and others. :thu:

 

while this one is more of a vocal piece, Steve Cooney does play guitar on it.

Aye, but be warned, it is the world's slowest forum. There is almost no traffic.

 

Part of that is because Cams (the site owner) made registration a bit difficult due to spam attacks (and it looks like they have only one extra moderator). I think he has a better system in place now that he upgraded the forum software.

 

Even as it is, there's a good amount of material in there.
