 | Bothy
Band, The (1975 - 1979)

Chieftains, The (1962 - today) - Official
website
Irish traditional music just doesn't get any better than
this. The selections are timeless, the orchestration is always perfect. Paddy
Maloney's pipes and whistles really drive the music and the late great Derek Bell's
brilliant Celtic harp playing is top-notch.

The
Clancy Brothers (1955 - 1975)
Ah, Ireland, the land of sad love
and happy war. The Clancy Brothers offer a wide variety of Irish folk songs, as
many having to do with romance and the history of the land as they do with drinking
whisky. There is humor and rebellion and history here, all to be enjoyed by the
Irish where ever they may be.

Davy
Spillane (1980 - today) - Official

Spillane has done well in influencing the musicians and artists
he has worked with, for his music brings great wonder and inspiration to those

De
Danann (1974 - 2002)
The instrumentals are as good as De Dannan
has ever been. They have a wonderful lift and swing that makes you want to bounce
in your seat.

 | The
Dubliners (1962 - today)
When the Bishop of Cork tried to ban
the Dubliners from his city in 1967 because he objected to their ballad "Seven
Drunken Nights," it had the unintended effect of turning the group into underground
heroes...

Liam
O'Flynn (1960s - today)
Liam O'Flynn has a style that is so quiet
and unassuming that you will believe the notes come out of the chanter with no
effort. Slow airs, jigs, and hornpipes are played with equal ease. If you like
the traditional sound of the Uilleann Bagpipe, you will like O'Flynn's music.
