Thanks for that Magic, I'll see what I can find, and I like female vocalists.

I think you will like Blackmores Night. I like Within Temptation, but their music can be a bit heavier than Blackmore's Night.

Have you ever heard of Celtic Woman?

I have heard a little of Celtic Woman, but this is a fairly new genre for me, so I haven't heard of too much at all, just finding my way at the moment. But thanks.

Isn't Blackmore's Night actually brit Ritchie Blackmore (one of the founders of Deep Purple) and his American fiancée/wife? Or is this a different group?

They have a fan base in Russia, Serbia, Germany, many countries, it seems.

I watched a few of their vids and do think there is a sort of Balkan folk vibe, along with doses of Blackmore's signature lead guitar. Not bad.

After reading all the examples from everyone else FL, I don't the the Dark Ambient stuff I have is what you are looking for....

However one of our very old members who left months ago, did recommend one album that I have listened to..."Rusali by Staruha Mha", pretty eclectic stuff, I don't play it very often.

Thanks LG, and I think you are right, there is plenty here for me to have a listen to. It will help with all the reading that I'd almost forgotten comes with study...

Omnia :

Quote:

There are 2 artists with this name - Omnia is also an electronic dance music producer...
But they are also a Pagan folk band based in the Netherlands playing mostly self-composed music, with a couple of traditionals from places like Ireland, Brittany and Afghanistan. The music is 100% acoustic – no synthesisers, no electric instruments, no programming. They have released several CDs on their own Pagan Scum label, as well as a live DVD.
