Andy,
Finding suitable library music is really time-consuming and most of it sounds naff and costs money. I didn't think a brass band would work (assuming I could find some copyright reduced material), and although Scotland and Ireland have a healthy folk tradition, English folk is a bit restricted to vocal ditties, sea-shanties and morris tunes. My favoured option was to use Northumbrian pipes which are a bit mellower than Uillean pipes or Scottish bagpipes. The closest I could get to this was a piece of software from Germany that emulated various European bagpipes including the Flemmish pipes that I ended up using. I also used a synthesised reed organ in place of a concertina, which was close enough.
