Hi Everyone, Who do you all think the best Celtic bar band of all time is? My personal favorites are the Pogues (of course) Dropkick Murphy’s, Flogging Molly, and MacTalla Mor. You guys agree or disagree?
i like mine a little more traditional so i would say prolly barleyjuice... me thinks they mix the "now" and the "then" together to a nice brew that doesnt loose its rootsy feeling ... mostly...
A great list of bands mentioned so far, but the best celtic "bar" band I have seen is Kilbrannan out of Western New York. Although they are no longer together, their combination of Scottish and Irish drinking songs, traditional and original tunes, audience participation and humor made for a fun filled night everytime I saw them perform.

I tried to answer this...I really did. The title caught me as I love drinking almost as much as music, so I started mentally creating an order to see who would be #1, but I couldn't decide so I picked one at random.... The Bloody Irish Boys
I am not sure, but I do feel that the dropshite murphys should be kicked to death.
