Celtic Music: traditional and contemporary

What celtic music do you listen to, both trad and more contemporary?

I like most all of it, fav's would have to be, among the many: Tannahill Weavers, Battlefield Band, Altan, Gaelic Storm, to name just a few.

That of course doesn't include all the pipe music to which I listen. For the pipers, and non pipers alike, what's your fancy?

Morning guys!

Does anybody listen to the Thistle and Shamrock on NPR!

My GF likes Drop Kick Murphy, believe it or not it's a bit hard on this old Led Zep fan!

Thanks for all the links Tony!
