Reccomend CD’s
Looking for CDs with players of traditional music that is as traditional/old fashioned/vintage as possible. I prefer the older sound and instrumentation.Not just irish, but scots and welsh ect too.
Great forum here!

SEAN KEANE: GUSTY’S FROLICKS (1975)
Michael Coleman:

"The WHeels Of The World" recordings.
The 4-box set "Farewell To Ireland".
You can find comments about these recordings if you search for these in the recordings section here.
There are also a lot of very old recordings available online on various websites.

Good luck. One of my all time favourites is a recording of CB fiddler Angus Chisholm. And on a similar vein there’s a fair bit of stuff by Buddy McMaster, Winston Fitzgerald around. Bobby MacLeod is well worth a listen, quite a few recordings. And that’s me just getting started …
All best,
There’s a good discography in the back of Matt Cranitch’s fiddle tutor if you can get access to a copy. Lots of classic recordings listed, but it won’t include more recent recordings.
Narrowing it down: CDs of players/singers active or released before 1960. Already have these CDs listed in this "recordings by year index" http://www.irishtune.info/r-year.htm but looking for more of the same vintage.
Is there an index of trad musicians by year?
Thank you,
