I have rented the old BBC series “the Celts” on DVD. It’s rather mired in its '80s-ness but there are a few good snippets.
One features a fiddler, piper, flute player and bouzouki player playing some tunes. They don’t mention any names in the credits. Do Mr. Laban or any others have a clue who these musicians were?
Cheers,

I think I saw the series when it was new and as far as I remember these guys played the Merry Blacksmith (scary the things you remember isn’t it?). At the time I didn’t recorgnise any of the musicians. The thing was the making of Enya though 
If ITM is heroin, Enya is Ecstasy. It can be a gateway to harder drugs but for the most part Ecstasy is satisfactory. But if you grow up in a cultural vacuum like I and many other Yanks, Enya is more like opium.
The only details that stick out to me about the musicians is that the bouzouki looked like it came directly from Greece or the Balkans (as most bouzoukis probably did back then). And the flute player held his flute a lot like Conal O Grada. It was filmed in a dark room.

Can’t remember much about the music,I’m afraid,but I think that you are talking about the short series which was written and narrated by Frank Delaney.
There was also a book of the same title by him,which told the history of the Celts-lots of luvverly golden objects,the famous cauldron,swords found in Austrian lakes etc,etc.
Frank was also brave enough to point out that a lot of stuff that we think of as being quintessentially ‘Celtic’ is 19th and 20th century twaddle-think ‘Ossian’ for example.
