Just found this one a few weeks ago at a gift shop at the Catskills Irish Arts week. Don't know if she is the most well known of Irish flutists, so here's a little more info to acquaint yourself with her style. Not pure drop, but not as modern/jazzy as a Niall Keegan or Garry Shannon. She's got a nice little groove to her playing, and it just makes you feel really good.
This album also features Donal Siggins (mandola, banjo), Kevin O'Connor (fiddle), Eamon O'Leary (guitar), Robert Harris (bodhran, dejimbe), and Mick Kinsella (harmonica), so it pushes the envelope a little bit with the instrumentation and arrangements, but still keeps it plenty traditional enough.
Of my recent CD binge, I consider this one of my better finds. Just really nice stuff.
I like this one
From Emer Mayock, Flute player.
