Music for St. Pat's.

[Hottub]

<p>Besides the usual fare of Pogues, Black 47, and Dropkick Murphy, I am going to be digging up some more traditional stuff this year.</p><p>Tommy Makem, Irish Rovers, Saw Doctors, Cherish The Ladies, Clancey Brothers, and of course Christy Moore!</p><p>Do any of you guys listen to, or even care about the more traditional music?</p>

[BoondockSaint]

I'm a big ,big fan of the Clancy&nbsp;Brothers.

I forgot to mention the Wolf Tones.

Irish Rovers are very good. I haven't heard them in a long time!

<p>Nothing in the world annoys me more than Irish music.&nbsp; It's not an insult, just a fact.</p><p>I <em><strong>despise </strong></em>it. &nbsp;</p><p>It literally makes me physically ill. &nbsp;</p>

[Hottub]

<p>I've had an opportunity to see Tommy Makem live several times. He really kicks it old school. Really intimate venue too. Great.</p><p>And Cherish The Ladies, these girls are true musicians!! Caught them twice at the Poconos Irish festival!&nbsp; Pick up their cd &quot;All The Best&quot;</p><p>Can't remember where I saw the Saw Doctors. But I know I had fun. Ask American Express.</p>

All I own is the Pogues "If I Should Fall From Grace With God", which is great; I like what I've heard from the Dropkick Murphys and the Chieftans. I'd like to check out some of those bands mentioned in earlier postings.

[ToLEEdo]

You're forgetting Flogging Molly, The Dubliners, and there is this other band I believe names Celtic Storm but I'm not sure.&nbsp; If your looking for Scottish The Real McKenzies are great.

<p>Don't forget Carbonleaf.&nbsp; They have a very Irish first album and are from VA.&nbsp; They played the DC Shamrockfest this past Saturday and they will be playing DC101's Kegs and Eggs this Friday.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[BeerBandit]

Yes they're Scottish, but Old Blind Dogs is some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.&nbsp; Ian Benzie's voice is so smooth and haunting.&nbsp; Plenty of jigs and reels to throw 'em back to.
