Thanks, I'll investigate some of those names. Old Time music is hard to come by in the Uk, thank heaven for places like this.
Cheers,Paul

That Art Stamper cd is the real deal! Thanks for the recommendation, any more?

I've got a fair bit of Tim including the cds you've both mentioned, I was hoping for pointers to people working along the same lines.
Thanks,Paul

I've been enjoying this Tim O'Brien record a lot lately and I wonder if anybody would care to suggest others in the same area. I like Tim's old time/ celtic sounds more than the bluegrass....

Any body like to offer their thoughts on Tim O'Briens CBOM DVD? I was thinking that this might suit me after approx.6 months playing.

Having just found a Paul Hathway octave mandolin irresistable I'm wondering where to start. Can anybody recommend something instructional to get me started? My main interest is playing Celtic music....
