Pogues, Chieftains, Dubliners.
Beyond that I'm not sure.

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

In the process of creating Old Shame.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.

In the process of creating Old Shame.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).

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.
