Listening to Clare Fm on the wireless (as they say) just now, I realised I heard no mention here of any of the obvious (semi) trad christmas CDs here: Mary Bergin & Dordan's 'Celtic Christmas' and Frankie Gavin and Carl Hessions 'Shamrock and Holly' just to name two. Have they gone unnoticed, haven't hey been marketed there or what?
A missed opportunity as a stockingfiller I would think.

And don't forget The Boy's of the Lough's "A Midwinter Night's Dream" (which I think may also be available under another title). Pretty close to pure drop, with a lot of good whistle tunes on it.
