|about artist|The Clancy Brothers were an influential Irish folk music singing group. Most popular in the 1960s, they were famed for their woolly Aran jumpers and are widely credited with popularizing Irish traditional music in the United States. The brothers were Patrick "Paddy" Clancy, Tom Clancy, Bobby Clancy and Liam Clancy. Paddy, Tom, Bob, and Liam are best known for their work with Tommy Makem, recording dozens of albums together as The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. They were a primary influence on a young Bob Dylan and on many other emerging artists. ([more on last.fm](http://www.last.fm/music/The Clancy Brothers And Tommy Makem))|

Yes they are. If you like them you'd also like The Men They Couldn't Hang, particularly their song The Colours (but most of their stuff is good).

And if you're into that whole Celtic Rock/Celtic Punk thing I have to recommend the Pogues, Dropkick Murphys, and my favorite Flogging Molly (I saw them perform Drunken Lullabies on the Tonight Show shortly after the album's release and immediately the next morning went and picked it up and Swagger. I stopped lending the albums out because I never got them back from people--I think I've purchased each of those two at least three times.

Flogging Molly was one of the best concerts I ever attended. I think it was back in 2003 when I saw them perform at a smallish club which maybe had 750 people in it. I went with myself and two friends, one of whom was a giant of a man (6'4, probably 300+lbs). It was rather amusing being down in the pit (always wear steel toed boots if you're going to be upfront at a concert), and the rest of us bouncing around like mad in the mosh pit, while he had a space around him of a foot on either side.

It was funny, because we were standing there in the pit and nobody was showing any excitement. I remember turning to my one friend (not the 6'4" monster) and saying "this crowd looks dead" and him agreeing. Then Flogging Molly came out, hit the opening note and the club practically exploded.

Wooden Flute Obsession is my first recommendation. It will give you 2 CDs of a wide range of styles. Enough to get you exposed to so many artists.

One of my favorites is Kevin Crawford he's worth a listen to.

Annnnd here we go again searching Amazon.

I did this as a double challenge to myself. I looked for items from all the letters in the alphabet on my wishlists. The only letter missing from my list was X, but I have rectified that. I also kinda cheated at Q, but I am looking to rectify that too lol.

As you may have guessed, Swagger is less than 10 bucks on Amazon

Is this them?
