Some great singers mentioned above - but still I don't recognise any names under the age of 30 or even 40. [ 1 or 2 names - but no more than that - are unfamiliar to me ]. Here's the challenge - who in this century, in Irish music, has made a recording similar to - let alone as good as - Paul Brady's "Welcome Here, Kind Stranger" ?

Seamie O'Dowd, I think is a great singer, but I don't associate him with traditional songs. He's one singer who could make an album as good as Brady's.

And BigDavy - most of your Scottish list of singers are deid ! If I was Brian Miller, I'd be very worried.

PS - one name I forgot, and whom I don't think's been mentioned - Jimmy Crowley.

Hi Kenny

True - most of them are dead. I better not put the black mark on Brian or Arthur Johnstone. Or Kevin Mitchell on the Irish side of Glasgow.

In addition to the aforementioned, how about Paddy Tunney and (Connemara) Sean Keane? I'd die a happy man if I had a set of pipes like Sean Keane.

God forgive me, how did I forget to mention the late, great Frank Harte?

Listening to Seamus Begley lately,

Great album- Eiri Go La

Sean Tyrell is another great voice!

Cathy mentioned Brian O'Hairt. Dunno his exact age, but I'd guess he's under 30 and he's certainly under 40. He's well worth giving a listen to. http://www.buamusic.com/brian_hart.html

My wife and I are in love with the singing of Matthew Byrne, but he's a young Newfoundland traditional singer rather than Irish...
