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!

The Wolf Tones; the Chieftains; The High Kings; Planxty; The Dubliners - hey I could go on forever! I really have to say I love most of the traditional music group.

Hi everybody out there,

lots of the real favourites have been mentioned.

I've found "The Elders" and "The High Kings" recently.

You'll also find interesting collections on www.accuradio.com

Stefan,

I love the Elders too! Got to see them at the Michigan Irish Music Festival last September. They are a really great group State side.

Hi Chris,

unfortunately, you don't get the American Irish bands here to Germany.

Anyway, even here in the former eastern part (the wall came down today 22 years ago! Jippi jey!!!) we have got a quite lively Folk scene. The Irish Festival often tours more in the western parts, so do some of the "real Irish". A pitty.

The dubliners

The Pogues

U2 (for the old songs)

And as the special Guest (ok it's not irish but Celtic) : Dropkick Murphys
