This thread is for people that like traditional Irish music. I'm going to suggest a couple bands/albums and if you have any let me know. I dont really see this getting that many replies, but it might.

Mary Bergin, tin whistle
- best album Feadoga Stain
The Chieftains
- best album...I dont own any of their
albums, just some mp3s
Gaelic Storm
- best album... Gaelic Storm, although
Tree is quite good as well.

so there's 3 I listen to regularly, give me some new ones and I'll throw out some more I listen to.

Carbon Leaf is Celticish on a few songs. You can download their CDs from Amazon for FREE!

The only chieftains cd I has is called Irish Heartbeat. Does that help any? Anyway the Irish stuff I listen to isn't really traditional. It's more Irish/punk or Irish/rock.

Friend of mine really loves The Pogues, most of their stuff is pretty amusing and decent.

I'm not seriously knowledgable in Irish folk. The stuff I have heard I'm not particularly fond of.
I remember the first day I was in Ireland I hadn't had more than four hours of sleep like the last three days before the flight, and then I didn't sleep at all on the plane, and when I was at a store that was playing some Irish music, I thought I was hearing a particular REM song because I was so delusional.

While not exactly traditional, Elvis Costello and Enya are both Irish.

Oh, and I have The Chieftains Bells of Dublin. I like it.
