Thanks for that. Lots listed, many of which would be my sort of thing, but most with no indication of the genre.

For me, "Irish" means "avoid", and a lot are clearly labelled that way, but it isn't obvious for a lot of the others whether English or Scottish instrumental music would ever feature.

Surely the unadvertised ones are unadvertised because they don't want strangers wandering in.
