Irish Internet Radio and TV from Dublin, Ireland.

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!

Definitely Lunasa! Kevin Crawford is not only a great musician, but also a wonderful performer. He's fun to see live.

Good choice, Teri. And you're right. Kevin is a super musician, and a really nice guy, as well. I got to have a couple of beers with him (and tons of other folks, too!) at the Swannanoa gathering in North Carolina.
