Battle of the old time Celtic bands!

[HEyHEY]

I gotta go with the Dubliners...that guy always sounds ripped.

[Gothic Sponge]

1. I like OZZY!

;)

[Fenris]

2. I resent the absence of either the Pogues or Shane & the Popes!

;)

And if the guy from the Dubliners sounds ripped, he is.

[HEyHEY]

3. yeah but the Pogues aren't really "old school"

The first album had to be cut at least in the early 70s

4. Craicmore

That is, if you consider digeridoo an old-time Celtic instrument!

6. How about the "Battlefield Band"

Been around a long time...catch em if you can...they tour the U.S. every year.

7. Chieftains are really in a different category...

...playing as they do what you might call Irish classical music, whereas the Dubliners, etc., play Irish popular music.

When did the Irish Rovers, or The Clancy Bros. last cover a tune by Turlogh O Carolan, for example.

A better competitor for the Chieftains would be, say, the Boys of the Lough....
