I've been looking for irish GAELIC folk music (mostly gaelic) for a long time now but all I can find isn't what I want. name any irish/gaelic that isn't rock or punk (I have all of these unless they're obscure)

Also idiot kid, Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt are amazing... You probably know it already, but there's this documentary thing called 'Heartworn Highways' I saw a while ago which has a bunch of live footage of Guy, Townes, Steve Young, John Hiatt, Steve Earle, and a load more of those guys, so yeah, watch that if you haven't already! The soundtrack album is pretty great too.

I've got an album by a group called Oisin that I can upload for you.

Geordie

A lot of the songs on the album seem really melancholy like the one I posted. Even the jumpy and fun songs seem kind of melancholy and it kind of reminds me of the kind of music people would listen to in the BRONZE AGE or something. It's really neat stuff, I'd be glad to upload it for you if you wanted.

If you want some of this I can get you my uncle's Irish folk project. It's actually very good! (he's genuinely from Ireland and his partner on the project is from Scotland so it is the most Gaelic experience you can get!)

EDIT: Dug up their Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/kinfolksongs

I have the whole CD so I can get this to you pretty easy if you want it.

offering to pirate your family's music for a GWer...what a guy

I'll try it, go ahead and upload it unless you want me to buy it !
