Also: which LP or cassettes do you wish would be issued on CD?
Brendan McGlinchey's "Irish Champion" is one I'd like to see come out again in any form, really.
sorry cjp, but with all my expanding extended family I'm just not going to be able to get you anything this year. Maybe someone around here with deep pockets? where's Bodhran Bliss? I'd like the new At the Racket CD which I'm hoping will be released before Christmas...
"Ciarán Ó Maonaigh & Aidan O’Donnell: Fidil" ~ Please, for my birthday? ~ for any day? Pretty please, with a good Belgian Guinness and a nice fry up? I'm on my knees, pleeeeaaasse!!!
How to get my wife to read this? Sometimes she comes looking over my shoulder to see if I'm doing her work for her... Oh yeah, that's what I'm supposed to do. I hope she comes and unlocks the shackles, I'm desperate for a wee...
You and I both Hiro, but we can dream can't we, make our wish lists and save our pennies... I picked up another tuppence piece on a walk yesterday, that's a step in the right direction. As some are want to say, save you're pennies and the pound will follow!

Floss,
In perusing your profile, I noticed a "launch of historic archive CD of Clare music". What CD is that? sounds like something my stocking would like to stretch for.
"Happy to Meet" ~ I was going to suggest that one to you, but you said 'on our wish list', rather than just 'recommended'... It is lovely...& recommended...
Yikes- recommending could turn into a long list... If we start that thread we'd probably need to pick a top 5, or top 10. Or, perhaps "What would you recommend to someone who loves, say, a sweet old sound? Or gets chills listening to Ciarán Ó Maonaigh & Aidan O’Donnell?" Guilty of both, btw.
Well, of course, the top 5 must haves of the past, and the top 5 must haves of the present ~ so balance is struck, and it adds up to the usual old 10, the number of fingers we've got, counting the thumbs of course...
What would I recommend? ~ A good night's sleep and plenty of liquids...
