    You can try Loreena McKennitt, especially "The old ways" and "Skellig", or Mark Lanegan's songs "Carnival" and "House a home"... then there are groups like Chieftains and Altan,
    oh, and the last winner of the eurovision contest was a violin-filled song, I think the title was "fairytale".

    Modena City Ramblers use violins, then there are Sorotan Bele and Lauri Tähkä, but none of these sing in english.
    "-Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity..."
    "-Actually, I'm planning to threaten you."

    "Well, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do. Evil plots don't just make themselves, you know!"

    Default violin-filled songs

    These are well known, but still, no one mentioned them, so if it's of any help, I would reccomend "Fuori dal mondo" by Ludovico Einaudi (if you got the time, you might want to listen more than this song, cuz he has amaizing works - violin included) and a great deep famous one - "Sur le fil" by Yann Tiersen.

    By the way, I could really use some help..if anyone knows... At the end of the "Bent" movie there's a violin part which I haven't been able to identify... On www.imdb.com speaks only of "Streets of Berlin" by Mick Jagger, but not the violin part at the end..
    I do not necessarily reccommend, by this post, to watch the movie (it's a gay story during the World War II and the nazzi oppression), but I'm almost obssessed by the violin part at the end. Please please help me with this one!

    Does anyone know of any other great songs like that?

    Try "vienna" by Ultravox.

    (Late) Anne Clark - "If I Could (Main Mix)" comes to mind.
    Beginning of 1990s. Outstanding violin work by Ida Baalsrud (who also co-wrote this song)
