We have looked into it and some Irish friends have suggested looking through
albums by Dé Danann and The Chieftains to see if you find anything that
catches your fancy, as they have played arrangements of traditional tunes
and the Chieftains have worked with various different artists, including
jazz artists.
Best,
Jacques
