It’s not all bagpipes and fiddles (though both are amply represented), there are also some great vocal tracks, and more contemporary folk styles represented. Check out the following:
1. Traditional dances, upbeat & well played.
2. Slow & sad w/beautiful female vocal.
4. Fast, traditional dances with great energy & style.
5. Low-key modern Celtic folk w/nice female voice.
7. Fiddle/guitar duet, low-key but melodic, picks up a bit later.
9. An almost classical-sounding instrumental fiddle/cello.
11. So odd it’s interesting. Calypso steel drums & pipes.
15. Fiddle harmonies in a set of reels. Fast & lively.
