Newmoon Musical Instrument Insurance (Musical Instruments)

Martine Lund Hoel (Music Groups)
Not Celtic per se, this astonishingly talented musician from Norway plays the Hardangerfiddle, basically a violin with sympathetic strings running under the main strings. There are hints of Celtic soul in her music. You simply have to hear her!

Tradtunes.com (Tune Collections)
An online shop for traditional music. You can buy whole albums or individual tracks. There's a good range of releases on sale. Like the iTunes music store, tracks cost 79p and albums cost �7.99 (so you can make quite a saving on longer albums). You can listen to a 30 second sample of any track. Unlike iTunes, many of the tracks (though not all) are available in MP3 format rather than some proprietary DRM format (some tracks are in WMP... yuck!). The site also provides a streaming radio show that can be listened to using Quicktime.
