Celtic Rock/Trad

The Celtic Rock genre has seen massive increase in popularity up here in recent years, with many new bands taking the baton from Runrig and going forward with it.
On the Trad side as well, things have come a long way from Andy Stewart and Donald Where's Yer Troosers

Anyway, I expect this thread will be as popular as a fart in a spacesuit, but I like this stuff.
So suck it up

Julie Fowlis closes last years Hoolie with a bit of a Runrig tribute.

Fowlis and Kim Carnie are the top 2 smashers in this field IMO

Typical summertime gig in Scotland

Is the wider world ready for Peat & Diesel?

Too late...

A good bunch of lads, even if Boydie seems to be presented too often as a "character".
