Dearest Goldilocks
I would suggest that perhaps you look into the Hooligans, as they are not as heavy as the Drop Kick Murphys to my ear anyway. We saw them at the Loch Norman Highland Games and had to buy the latest CD I'd recommend their version of The Gael which you can listen to on their myspace page here. The band are members of X-Marks as well and go by the name That Celtic Band.

A few other choices would be the Canadian group The Glengarry Bhoys, or perhaps the Scottish Rogues, Empty Flask, the list goes on. I think these may be just right.
