And,... exactly what you didn't ask for, exceptin',....
This is one of my my favorite cellists, who just happens to be, well, Irish.
Sarah O'Brien, cello principal for Yanni, and a regular player with the Hutchins Consort New Violin Family Octet.
Don't go here expecting Irish jig music - Just the lovely Sarah O'Brien - such a sweet soul. You'll just have to listen around the Yanni thing.

Gotta wee tale to share.
Bout ten year back, the new neighbour moved in next to me. And after some words came outta his mouth, I knew that he came from Erie. You could have cut his brogue with a knife.
We had a few words of introduction, and I asked, "From the North or the South?"
There was a bit of a pause, and he answered, "The North".
To seal the meeting up, later I brought over a cool beer, and he was pleased to hear that I was part Irish, with heritage... from the North as well.
And, to test his Celtic humour, I asked, " What's worse than a drunken Irishman?"
To my question he waited , taking a long serious look at me, and replied, "I don't know".
To further further test his mettle, I said, "A sober one!"
He broke out in a huge smile, laughed and we were as one, and have been that way over the years!

"May the road rise to meet you.A shame that this day had to end, but y'all got a smileoutta Saint Patty, for sure!
The tuneswere savage to say the least, and till next year... May the road rise up to meet you.
Q
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rains fall soft upon your fields,
and, until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of His hand".
