Ooh I've only heard what she's put out on bandcamp so far, will need to look out that album too
favourites of mine in the folk category:
- Solas an Lae - The Light of the Day by Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin & Ultan O'Brien A simple combination of a powerful voice, beautiful fiddle and some really moving songs. https://eoghanultan.bandcamp.com/album/solas-an-lae-the-light-of-the-day
And if you like that there's also:
- The Deepest Breath by Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin https://eoghanoceannabhain.bandcamp.com/album/the-deepest-breath
Also worth checking out:
- Anything by Lankum: The first folk band I got into on bandcamp, aka the start of a terrible addiction. They play traditional music with entirely their own style. Pulls your head and feelings all sorts of ways. Some of it is quite bleak but all of it is great. https://lankum.bandcamp.com/
But if by folk you were specifically thinking of the Scottish smallpipes then of course you want this incredible album:
- Carry Them With Us by Brìghde Chaimbeul https://brighdechaimbeul.bandcamp.com/album/carry-them-with-us
Edited: bloody formatting!
I think bandcamp is a pretty good way to find new music. I've gone down some lengthy rabbitholes finding a band I like then clicking various tags or links to other bands supported by their fans. You can stream a lot of the music, and if you buy something more of the money goes to the artists.

Cracking version of a traditional song, played with a really menacing sound. Would love to see this band live!
