Re: Trip to the Cottage
Have been listening to these guys for a while, really enjoy their playing of The Gallowglass in particular. They are from the US, have toured around much of the country, and have performed outside of the US (eg., Canada).
The band members:
Jil Chambless (Lead Vocals/Flute/Whistle)
Michael Bowman (Vocals/Fiddle)
Scooter Muse (Guitar/Five-String Banjo)
Randy Palmer (Vocals/Bass/Bodhran)
Mark Lanter (Vocals/Percussion)
Jason Bailey (Vocals/Mandolin/Bouzouki)
Band website:

From their site:
"From soft finger-picked ballads to hard-driving jigs and reels, Henri’s Notions creates a musical mix of traditional Celtic and American music as well as their own compositions that have a rhythm and voice reflective of their Southern heritage."

^2007 album, by the way. They have released several others, this one being the latest. Some of the band members also have their own side albums.
