Ulstersongs' Stock of Donegal Fiddle Music
I have found Ulstersongs (see their website) to be a particularly good source for hard-to-find recordings by Donegal fiddle masters. I heartily recommend them. They carry:
- Neil Boyle, Fairy Fiddler of Donegal: The Moving Clouds, Folktracks (60-170)
- Francie and Mickey Byrne, Ceol Na dTéad, Clo Iar Chonnachta (CIC078)
- James Byrne, The Road to Glenlough, Claddagh Records (CC52)
- Johnny Doherty, Comhaltas (CL10)
- John Doherty, Master Fiddler of Donegal: Bundle & Go, Ossian (OSS 17)
- Johnny Doherty, Pedlar's Pack, Folktracks (074)
- John and Michael Doherty, The Fiddler and the Fairy, Folktracks (073)
- Mickey Doherty, The Gravel Walks, Comhairle Bhealoideas Eireann (CBE002)
Anthologies:
- The Fiddle Music of Donegal, Volume One, Cairdeas Recordings (CNF001)
- The Donegal Fiddle, RTÉ Music (RTECD 196)
- Fiddle Sticks: Irish Traditional Music from Donegal, Nimbus (NI 5320)
More detailed information about these specific recordings is available.

They have supplied me (in exchange for writing this particular page) with some rare items that I did not have (or had illegally obtained!) and that I and others did not know were still available.
Moreover, John Moulden, who runs Ulstersongs, tells me he will in future keep a complete stock of the available Donegal fiddle items.
