Any good celtic music you could recomend me?

I have recently fallen in love iwht celtic music. Would like some recomendations :).

I am loving Celtic Woman at the moment

Pogues, Chieftains, Dubliners.

Beyond that I'm not sure.

Donal Lunny is pretty good. He's done a lot of interesting stuff with the Irish bouzouki.

If you can find it, look for the Hughes Band as well. It's a kind of supergroup featuring musicians from a number of Irish bands. I think Edge plays guitar for them.

That's precisely what I was going to say they're all amazing

Christy Moore, Shane Mc Gowan & The Popes, Wolfe Tones  ^*

Coinciderntaly, anyone have plans for St. Patrick's day? I usually listen to Irish music on that day.

I'm going to see the cast of the Commitments for their twentieth anniversary performance.

Try Loreena Mckennit! Maybe she is more world pop though. Ohh and the breton Alan Stivell. The father of the modern celtic music movement back in the seventies. Ohh you know what Im going to post a clip. Assuming you are more into the ethereal kind. But he has made some pretty rocking albums too.

Actually seeing as you like Celtic Woman. Loreena Mckennitt might be exactly your cup of tea. What is cool about her is that she is so independent. She owns her own record company and is the main composer of all her music. And she has got a very good voice. She is actually canadian but has irish roots.

I highly reccommend Flogging Molly. They are sooo good, they rarely have a bad song, and they dress so classy! Listen to them once, and you will be hooked!

Dropkick Murphys are also good. They have some epic and badass songs.

Try the albums he made with Planxty, they’re excellent. He was later in Moving Hearts (with the above-mentioned Christy Moore on lead vocals) but they’re a little more pop-rock oriented (though with a definite Celtic sound).

Clannad are a favourite of mine, best-known to many as the breeding ground for Enya; she played keyboards on their Crann ull and Fuaim albums and most of the rest of the band were comprised of her brothers and sister (Máire Brennan, on lead vocals and harp). My most-liked albums are 2 and Dúlamán, from their more “traditional” period (their later albums, from Magical Ring on, went in more of a “Celtic new age” direction).

Outside of Ireland, try Alain Stivell, the Breton master of the Celtic harp (a great place to start is his breakthrough album, Renaissance de la harpe celtique).

Look out for Capercaille, Solas, Saoirse and Claymore.

Oh, and Runrig is worth a look too.

And The Waterboys.

The Browne Sisters and George Cavanaugh are really good- not on youtube or itunes though. you can buy their cds online- I reccommed Bringing down the House and Miles through the Night. it's three sisters and a cousin, and they are fab.

also, Scott Williams on the Hammered Dulcimer. He's on itunes. he's fantastic.
