I chose male singers because that is what I like, and the singers who I emulate with my own singing.I think most of the ones I picked would of been offended if they heard they were considered "anglophones".
Her are some women I enjoy:
Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh.
Róise Bean Mhic Grianna(Róise na nAmhrán)
Mary Travers(La Bolduc)
.
Brían.
