The CD I referred to was from English Heritage. It was a 2 CD set called "Celtic Inspirations" and the musicians included those you listed.

Like you, I am wary of CD's called "Celtic......" but you sometimes come across some gems and this was one. Micheal Henry is indeed an excellent singer - as is Moira Craig. I was less keen on Julie Murphy. Her Welsh songs were my least favourite on the album. It was not the fact they were in Welsh so much as they did not seem to have that something extra that I often find in Gaelic songs that compensates for not understanding the language

I suspect the Past Times CD came from the same source as the English Heritage one. The copyright message says that all the tracks were licensed from Beautiful Jo records and all the artists listed have indeed recorded for Beautiful Jo at some time and BJ have some excellent CD's in their catalogue.
