Joglaresa
Joglaresa is a London-based early-music ensemble, formed in 1990. Aside from its English leader, Belinda Sykes, its members are British, Israeli, Irish, and Arabic, and all these cultural strands are to be found in their music, together with many others. Rather than playing early music in a standard sense, or "fusions" with modern traditions, they attempt to create an homogenous sound that marries all their influences.

Planxty

The band was formed in 1972, and quickly revolutionized and popularized Irish folk music, touring and recording to great acclaim. The band broke up twice; first in 1975 and again in 1983. The band re-united again in 2004. Their final performance (to date) was in 2005.

Quadriga Consort
Since the formation of the Quadriga Consort in 2000, the Austrian ensemble under the direction of the harpsichordist Nikolaus Newerkla has made a name for itself beyond the borders of Austria, playing early music, which defies being pigeonholed as either "classical" or "pop". With its first programme, Ground – released on CD (2003) with Label Harp, Berlin – the Quadriga Consort already delighted its audiences with uncompromising interpretations and unsuspected freshness, beyond any categorization.

Christy Moore
Christy, a native of Co. Kildare, Ireland, started in the music business in the mid-sixties, when his life as a bank clerk was interrupted by a bank strike, and he moved to England. There he became involved in the folk music scene at the time, and spent a few years playing pubs and clubs around the country. His return to Ireland was marked by the album Prosperous, which proved to be a milestone in the rapprochement of Irish music to the popular mainstream.
