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!

I've read many of the other posts and have a lot of music to check out. I love reading everyone's suggestions! Add me as a friend if you'd like. I love music and would love your opinion on what's good that I can listen to.; ▶ Reply to This

(so far, those two are my favorites. Irish music is not very popular in Latin America, therefore it`s hard to get good ceol à Eire arround here:-( ); ▶ Reply to This

The lads are touring the States at the moment, and will be on the Celtic Cruise in January.; ▶ Reply to This
