I love traditional Celtic, but enjoy Celtic punk too, as well as everything in between.
Green Linnet Records is a great place to find traditional, straight-ahead (non punk) Celtic played by contemporaries.
I've seen all but Black 47 in concert.
IMHO live is the best way to experience Irish music.

The Chieftains

The Pogues

Flogging Molly

Young Dubliners

Black 47

Patrick Street

The Saw Doctors

Altan

A good deal of Irish music I like is Celtic or folk, (Anuna, Clannad, Enya, etc) but I'll include a mix of songs here.
