    I really love the genre, but my current selection is quantitively limited. I would love to discover more.

    Here are some others they play Irish folk:
    The Wolfe Tones
    Killarney Singers
    maybe the Irish Rovers (they are irish-canadian; I'm not sure)

    I think that it means "folk music". I am sure that "ceol" means music, but I searched for "tír" and it means country or something similar.

    Tír an Ceol
    Land(country) (definitive article) Music.

    However An is singular meaning "the" and in this context it should be plural Na and ceol should be plural to follow.

    Tír na ceolta
    Land of Music.

    Ceol Traidisiúnta is traditional music which is what "folk" would be called. There is probably a way to write "folk music" but it wouldn't be that common.

    This has a more 70's progressive folk-rock sound, but it's still Irish folk

    What do you mean with folk: The actual traditional songs or modern ones done with some traditional influences? While I like groups like Gaelic Storm, I prefer the former and know more about that.

    This is a good group in my opinion.




    Irish tv re-did some old Gaelic folk songs in a few shows, quite good as well.




    Liam Ó Maonlai is probably my most favourite Irish folk artist.

Decisions between rival reasons can be made only by force.

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.
