All three of these are in Ireland. I’ve ordered from all three. Between them, you should be able to find any Irish CD that’s in production today.

I always wanted to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific.

Thank you! I’m doing some “investigation” of sorts for information, and the listings you’ve given me so far help a lot. :slight_smile:

For Scottish music try Greentrax. The English label Topic has wonderful Scottish and Irish stuff, much of it quite old. I’m not sure of exactly who releases this stuff in the US but Shanachie and Rounder would seem like the likely labels. (Greentrax might need to be imported.) Don’t have URLs handy, sorry, but a quick search will get you details.

Fflach http://www.fflach.co.uk for Welsh stuff.

Here’s a couple more:

Another one for Scottish music with link this time.
