One I got for Sue as a last moment stocking filler turned out well. A punt on a £2.99 budget CD by an unheard-of band called Planxty O'Rourke. Most of it is very good, even if it looks like someone has had fun making up the tune names.

Sue got me a router, and I've got lots of scrap MDF so I can make my own Stradivarius.
