Kiwi: where to start?? Beside some of those you've mentioned; lots of the Furies, some with Davie Arthur (who is now said to have his own group, doing scottish music) for ex, the "Sweet Sixteen" albumn... Finbar's gravelly voice and whistle and pipe are great - they have my favorite renditions of some of Bogle's songs esp Green Fields of France, and Leavin' of Nancy - said to be about Bogle leaving his mother - really grab me. Also they recorded "the old man" describing their dad, who taught them (and Davey Arthur) to sing and play... We've also been blown away by recent albumns of Danny Doyle - we used to see him and chat in DC; check out his versions of "Christmas in the Trenches," "Kilkelly Island," "the Moon on Clancey's Wings," just to name a few from his more recent solo albumns He not only has a beautiful tenor voice, but crafts his renditions with elegant detail like a musical Michealangelo We also reaslly like his duo albumn with his sister, who is sort of a comedic singer in Australia. We are nuts about Anne Hills, Christine Lavin, Priscilla Herdman (WOW!) and God knows how many more...I could type all night - esp as slowly & poorly as I type. ya gotta understand that - as my wife says - I'm a romantic at heart, and I love songs and singers that grab my emotions -how celtic!! cheers for now
