    I want to improve my vocal skills for Irish folk muic and my understanding of traditional Irish vocal ornamentation.

    I'm a lifelong blues player, very attached to the blues scale, blue notes, pentatonic scale, slurs, slides, playing behind the beat but, of course, I've always listened to Irish music and sung along with the grandparents and at the pub.

    Can anyone suggest instruction CD's/DVD's, or even the best performance CD's of traditional a cappella singers to help me improve my Irish folk music singing style? More of folk songs than authentic sean nos (which I don't believe can be learned from a CD). I need to strengthen my ornamentation and timing, etc. in the Irish folk music style. Thanks in advance.

    Zoe Conway sings a brilliant version o Taimse im chodladh and it is practically acoustic so you can hear all of the techniques really well.
    Also, Iarla O lionard is very good you might find him on youtube....:)
