Don't know where to find the vid you're displaying. Try playing the video then copy and paste the URL, while it's playing.

I did a search of Scottish fiddling and kept coming up with North American fiddlers. How about that?

I am amazed at how old people of my age are.....

They are a good band, but I must suggest Gaelic Storm. Here is Rag and Bone, off their newest album. They do a lot of traditional Irish/Celtic music.

EDIT: Here they are in the Dublin Irish Festival, playing a more traditional style of music.

EDIT 2: I just noticed "this side of the pond". D'oh! Actually, I'm not sure where Gaelic Storm is based, but most likely on the other side of the pond. Still, they're a great band.
