If you are uncertain where to begin looking for the details of a particular release, then this directory might help you. Ignore ‘a’, ‘na’ or ‘the’ in a band’s name and note that Céilí Bands have their own separate entry below ‘C’ and groups below ‘G’. Albums released by ‘Various Artists’ have been omitted since there are simply far too many to include.
Wherever possible a person’s instrument(s) and his or her county or country of origin has also been provided, as well as towns, cities or counties for UK-born musicians.
