Quick mention for a newish Edinburgh 6-part female a-cappella group called the Wild Myrtles, specialising (like Muldoon's Picnic of Glasgow) in original arrangements of folk and world music.

Further afield, Colman's Well in Vermont are superb but not currently active, due to one member becoming a parent I think.

Anyone heard of Corou de Berra? French-language group (well Occitan I suppose) based in Nice. Specialising in local traditional harmonies though possibly some of the arrangements might be a bit experimental for purists.
