Can anyone tell me who are some good Irish and Scottish Gaelic singers and musicians that sing in Irish and Scottish Gaelic?

Try the band Runrig. They're really amazing and do both English and Scottish Gaelic songs.
I recommend their CD called Long Distance, which is a "best of" and has both. Or for just Gaelic songs try the appropriately named Runrig Plays Gaelic. They are a rock-folk hybrid, not traditional music. They have a stirring, passionate, unique sound and even for those of us who can't understand a word it is incredible to listen to.

the version is approximately 1500 years,and in that factor it is not impressive that languages replace-eg you have 2 words for a similar difficulty and over the centuries one disappears from one language and the different be conscious disappears from the different language;the pronunciation of a be conscious would replace lots that it effectively turns into 2 separate words;words may well be observed from different languages(many words,extremely geographic,got here from the Scandinavian languages in the process the Viking era).that's authentic of all languages-basically think of of the version between Anglo-Saxon and present day English that are separated via a matching timespan. some words are a similar in the two languages, whilst some words are mentioned a similar yet spelt in yet differently and a few words are spelt a similar yet mentioned in yet differently. Scottish Gaelic is closer to Manx than it somewhat is to Irish Gaelic and,whilst studying one dialect could assist you to comprehend the different,it would not enable you to maintain on with an entire verbal substitute (not even a fluent speaker can try this). There are 3 Irish dialects,yet i don't comprehend how different they're from one yet another to offer an opinion,yet from what I hear,the Ulster sort is declared to be the closest to Scottish Gaelic.

Best singer who sings in Irish is Seán Ó'Sé. He's from down here in Cork. You can find him on many of the Seán Ó'Riada records such as "Ó'Riada sa Gaeity". Try also Altan for songs as Gaeilge. Definitely Seán Ó'Sé though.
