That is funny. They sing in Gaelic so I never bothered to dig deeper. And I sure couldn't tell Irish Gaelic from Scottish Gaelic. Oh well I guess I am off the island. OTOH my brother swears he traced us to Scottish descent so that may explain why I like em.

I mentioned Snow Patrol a couple of posts back.
Here's a clip of them performing a great acoustic track live. A Lowden and a Cole Clark. The song is a beautiful tribute to his Dad. https://www.google.com.au/search?sou...31.l4ezlRtmgL8 Sorry, I tried embedding but couldn't get it to work.

Davy Spillane, who walked into a pub in Doolin, came over and joined us playing in the corner for about three hours. Magic!
De Danaan with whom I spent all night in a Paddy Reilly’s Bar in Manhattan the first time I went there Delores Keane Mary Coughlan Mary Black Frances Black Eleanor Stanley Gail Hunnigan Liam Clancy Damien Rice Loads more.. Special mention for Van the Man, I have to as his guitarist and band leader Dave Keary has a son Alan, a superb multi-instrumentalist who’s one of the musicians on my upcoming album. I guess that makes him my personal favourite just now. https://soundbetter.com/profiles/70563-alan-keary

Scottish, Irish (Manus Lunny),a great flute player born in Manchester, and a phenomenally good band.
Some years ago I chatted to Tony McManus after he gave a concert, and he said he was about to do some recording with Karen Matheson, the singer of Capercaillie - that would have been some recording! |

Also, the song Me Mother She Was Orange And Me Father He Was Green (The Orange and the Green). This was the first one I knew as my wife's parents were exactly that and the Dad was Irish so it was a family joke. |

Maybe I missed his name in this thread...or it was subsumed in a named band...but Arty McGlynn...a major inspiration for John Doyle.

Planxty, absolutely, and Christie Moore is also a great songwriter aside from his traditional work with Planxty. McKennitt is what I would describe as 'coffee table book' music-lots of gloss, not much in the way of content. It's just too blatantly 'Oirish'! Likewise the High Kings; too polished, too commercial, too teetotal!

The High Kings? Yes, maybe a bit too polished. That said, they are extremely popular. I think they appeal to casual listeners and those that like to hear a lot of classic tunes very arranged. They do have good voices. They come by their music honestly, being related to the families that first brought the music. The late Liam Clancy wasn't very fond of their approach. He was pretty plain spoken about it. Some of them were related to him. |
