Well, Laddie, having just been in Edinburgh and visited Jamie's and watched their program, I now have a soft spot for Gordon Puttullo on the accordian and Gemma Donald on the violin. I know they both have cd's out and are available through Amazon. I don't know about iTunes, I don't use it. I picked up one of Gordon's cd's after the program and wish I'd have gotten the violin cd, too. That's my 2 centavos worth.

you might like triddana -- pipes and 80's ish rock from argentina (what if ronnie james dio had a piper). saor patrol, albannach, clanadonia--for a scottish folk sound. irish folk rock-neck, rumjacks. POGUES. bastards on parade (from spain). flatfoot 56. ok-for fun--ac/dc's long way to the top. another fun pipes, drums and didgeridoos band is wicked tinkers.

I am particularly fond of the Celtic Rock Band "Tempest"

There is also "Albannach" They have 3 or 4 cds out now. They play every year at the Pleasanton California Games.

Albannach are the best. I have seen them four different times here in Florida.

My suggestions will be a bit dated... many of my favourite groups are from the 80's and even 70s...

They are traditional groups, not rock

Scottish:

Tannahill Weavers
Old Blind Dogs
Kentigern (this is an obscure Scottish band from around 1980... probably hard to find)

Irish:

De Danann
The Bothy Band
Danu
Altan

You can get on Pandora and find all kinds of stuff

I love the Killdares out of Dallas.

I like Gaelic Storm a lot too.

I love these guys. Listening to them is like listening to the soundtrack of Scottish war movies.

I feel like I used to know a ton of Celtic bands. I cant seem to remember them right now.

For piping, I like the Red Hot Chili Pipers and The Wicked Tinkers. If you can find them, check out Barleyjuice and the Tim Malloys. Dropkick Murphys always good for a bit of 'oi' like Flogging Molly and the Real MacKenzies. See also An Dochas, the Mudmen and Great Big Sea.
