Celtic music recomendations

[SteampunkWolfdog]

I've been enchanted by celtic music. And was wondering, if anyone knew of some good celtic/irish/gaelic artists? Preferably instrumental stuff but I'm not too fussed.

Go crazy, post links and videos if you have any.

Thank yous

How about Beltaine?

I almost always listen to their music. I'm not sure if it's Irish or Celtic specifically, but I do like their music. It's lyricless [at least the tracks that I've listened to].

Here's an example, I personally love this one

Loreena Mckennitt is my favorite celtic singer. Her band is amazing and her voice is one of the most beautiful ive ever heard. I have one of her albums and I love evry song on it!

Her most famous song:

All of these songs are from this album: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Secrets
I own it and highly recommend every song on it!
