I've always liked Gaelic music, but I've had a very hard time following my preferences...until last night. I'm just getting started, so thought I'd share a few pieces here, and get back recommendations from those of you who already listen to such stuff.

There's Julie Fowlis and her band...here (http://youtu.be/JdO-JqtDPTw), here (http://youtu.be/wEtMX1UsBDU), and here (http://youtu.be/s-bixRX6c3s).

And, just discovered Kathleen MacInnes (http://youtu.be/hKWApRFKQqM).

I am a fan of traditional Irish/Gaelic music. I had the pleasure of living in a small village on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry a number of years ago and became friends with Seamus and Brendan Begley. Their music is rooted in the land and history of their place and comes from their heart and well as their very Irish souls ....

My wife is of Irish ancestry and made me go see the Chieftains.

I liked them.
