As an Irish person I had NEVER heard of Dropkick Murphy's or Flogging Molly. I am presuming they are actually American bands? Does anyone know?

The Waterboys are great. They were a Scots/Irish/English outfit but their music has been heavily influenced by lead singer Mike Scott's love of Irish music.

Their early albums had more of a rock feel but their later albums Fisherman's Blues and Room to Roam are excellent.

You should also listen to Sharon Shannon!
