What's everyone's favorite Irish music group?
What's everyone's favorite Irish or Celtic group? I like John Doan, Celtic Woman, and The Wolfe Tones. ("You'll Never Beat the Irish" by Wolfe Tones is absolutely great!) I'm looking for all kinds of new groups, so be sure to throw any names into the discussion when you feel like doing so. Thanks, people!

Planxty was a good band. I think some of them evolved ito the Bothy Band

I think the Chieftains and especially Paddy Moloney have spread Irish music all over the world. They played with so many different artists in various music styles and made so many beautiful records for almost 50 years. Amazing !

Danny Doyle is a phenominal Irish Balladeer and a pleasure to see live. He not only sings the songs, but will also give the history or the story behind it. And he is a congenial person who will talk to you after his shows or as he is selling his music after the show. Do not pass up a chance to hear him.

I thought Clannad would have been on most people's favorite music group lists.
I also like listening to local Dublin groups that play in Dublin Pubs and Venues - some with no cover charge!

That's what I enjoyed while there in April - all the local groups in the various cities we landed in on our tour. It was never difficult to find a pub and some of the local talent was fabulous (including in Dublin)!

Hi Seyma.
The music of Lúnasa is in the style of traditionnal irish music blending fiddle and guitar and flûte.
It one of the top band in Ireland :) It pretty magic.
Dervish is more down to earth music with a spiritual twist to it. They blend Bodhran, fiddle and other instrument too that i do not know the name in english lol !
They have both website, just google their name and you will find it :)
Slan :)
