I found this list on http://www.rte.ie/radio and would like opinions on any specific CD you might have on this list. It is strictly of 2001, so the most recent CD's aren't included.

Hi Tyghress
Here's 2 for you!
Slide: very high-energy; some lovely tunes, played very energetically (and quite fast!). They've played around Cork a few times in the past 2 years -they're very good, and all fairly young. Fiddle, guitar, bouzouki, low whistle (as far as I can remember...)
Padraic O'Reilly: very nice cd. Padraic's in his 20s, has released a number of cds, including Turas (with Padraig Rynne, Ronan Ryan, & Liam O'Connor - all aged between 14 and 19 when released); plays with the Kilfenora Ceili Band (piano, of course!). CD is mostly piano as melody instrument, with some arrangements including vamping. Quite traditional approach and tunes.
Good luck with the others!
