Thanks for all the suggestions.
Thank you Thyme for the wonderful welcome. It makes me feel at home here at Mudcat.
Seany, I'd love to go to the Celtic Connections festival but Scotland is half a world away from Southern California! Some day, some day.
Thanks for the advice on Alex Beaton, Patty. I'll definately check that out.
Also, although the intent of this thread was to request Scottish folk bands, it seems like I have started an Irish-Scottish rivalry here. Not that I mind since I can play both sides because I'm half Scottish and half Irish. I guess I'll allow it to continue : ) because it makes me laugh.
Keep the suggestions coming!
God bless, Rebecca
