Similar in style and sound to Planxty (given these guys spent a bit of time with them it's only natural), Kevin Burke (The Bothy Band) was also a contributor across multiple tracks. All guys mentioned in this thread earlier, who all had a huge influence on Irish trad music in varying ways. Anyway, I don't even know where to go in terms of Irish folk music from here, there's so many different sides to it and it's developed in spades from the rebellion ballads and pub/céilí jigs and reels of years gone by, with many of the songs being heard on these albums laying their roots well over 100 years ago. It's hard to know where to really start as I said so I've picked and chosen various albums I've enjoyed down the years, some of which have yet to find their way to BEA (sorry, I'll get on that) and I'll pop back with more if I think of some other relevant ones/there's interest in them.
Live In Seattle by Martin Hayes And Dennis Cahill
Great rec. Can't go wrong with these two. Not sure why I've never listened to this before when I've meant to for ages. Halfway through and sounds incredible.
