I'm from Switzerland and try to play the uilleann pipes, the (low) whistles and the flute. The band I play with is called 'sláinte', more information at http://www.slainte.ch or at http://www.myspace.com/slaintech
I love the real traditional music like Willie Clancy, Matt Molloy, Liam O'Flynn, Jean-Michel Veillon , Mick O'Brien , Ronan Browne .... to name a few.
Some bands I would like to mention are Planxty, Lunasa and The House Band and on the not so traditional side Stockton's Wing, Moving Hearts, the early Pogues, Stoneage, Celtas Cortos, Gwendal.
Beside Irish music I like music from the Bretagne, Galicia, Eastern Europe, Klezmer, Scandinavia, but I'm influenced also by Frank Zappa, J.S. Bach, Tom Robinson, John Lennon, Tom Waits, Mary Coughlan, Elvis Costello, Mari Boine, Laurie Anderson, Max Lässer, Steve Reich, Barbara Thompson.
Anyway any music played with great spirit!
[ too much name dropping here - says my internal trad police]
