I think that's great that you live in Ireland, but save your coin. The peak would have been in the 60's and early 70's when bands like the Dubliners & Clancy Brothers were at their peak.

Still it would be great to know if there are still a lot of talented young celtic players around the small towns of Ireland. Last I heard all the youth were still listening to techno.

PS. what's the name of your prog rock journal?
