Thanks all, only heard of about half of those, so plenty to investigate. And what about my third question - is this another "golden age" of the genre, at least in comparison to the 80's-early '00s. (And I'm talking mainly about English here, because for Celtic the 80's was a golden age, with Runrig, Clannad, Capercaillie etc being at their best.)
Phil , I love crossover bands , Afro Celts, Peatbog Faeries , Jim Moray etc etc and Thrash Folk Bands like Eluvetitia , so genres become very blurred .....and it doesn’t matter .Music is just music
