I don't see why not. She's got some proggy stuff every once and awhile. Even a few Middle-earth songs to keep that specific prog stereotype going. Wink

A TRUE IRISH-SOUNDING progfolk band would be MUSHROOM  and the "Early One Morning" lp.'73

It is rare to have Irish jigs - or any UK folk music really - played on organ (or synth). (Battlefield Band is one example.)


CALLINAN-FLYNN "Freedom's Lament" '72  more on folky side though


LOUDEST WHISPER "Children of Lyr"

I copied this info from Wikipedia, hihihihi Big smile
And I quote: "

There are various versions of the song, some in addition to the main section featuring either an intro of a Celtic fiddle solo, or an a cappella coda both based on Thomas Moore's Irish folk song "Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms".

The main section begins with a Celtic-style fiddle played over a drum beat, with the bass guitar and piano providing accompaniment".
