Re: Irish Mandolin Recordings
The daddy of all 'Irish' mandolin recordings must be Dave Swarbrick's 'Rags, Reels and Airs' LP of 1967, since reissued as a CD. Not all mandolin but plenty of great Irish mandolin stuff on there such as the Jolly Tinker, linking with his pioneering work with Fairport convention on the Liege and Lief LP (with Toss the Feathers and the Lark in the Morning) which invented Celtic folk rock, before anyone thought of calling it that.
A more recent classic (2008) and all mandolin is Luke Plumb's 'a Splendid Notion' album, where the ex-Shooglenifty mando wizard covers many great Irish reels, jigs, hornpipes, a Carolan set, etc.

mainly Irish & Scottish but open to all dance-oriented melodic music.
