Can any of you recommend cd recordings of Sean Nos singers, preferably male & singing in Irish. I am looking for inspiration & new songs, well songs that are new to me!
I've got:
Joe Heaney - Ossian OSS CD 22
Joe Heaney: The Road From Connemara (2 disks) - Clo Iar-Chonnachta CICD 143
Sean 'ac Dhonncha: An Spailpin Fanach - Clo Iar-Chonnachta CICD 006
Various: Grand Airs of Connemara - Ossian OSS CD 28
Darach O Cathain - Shanachie 34005
I've also heard, but don't own, a recording by a singer from Coolea who died young and in whose honor there's a festival. Diarmuid O'Suilleabhain, I think.
If you're up for a hunt, you might try to track down recordings of Sean de hOra. Maybe only on cassette, maybe out of print.

The best source of sean-nos CDs is the Clo Iar-Chonnachta label, http://www.cic.ie - well worth checking.
