Serbia has two awesome Irish rock bands.

The first is called Orthodox Celts and they used to cover traditional Irish songs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88yLlmBqevQ) but later switched to writing music of their own (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wESLZemox4M). They currently have four albums out.

The other one is a bit younger band called Irish Stew Of Sindidun and they mostly write original music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNV8nD-KD1A, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W516-79JAQ0) and they're pretty cool too

I've always enjoyed Iona, a Christian Celtic prog rock band from the UK:

Kool. And do they sing in Irish? Most Irish acts sing in English. I don't buy that very gladly. Among the best are Eithne Ni Bhraonain (Enya) and her sister Màire Ni Bhraonain (for the English-speakers Moya Brennan). (Pronunciation tip: Енjе Нi Врiнанj... people usually have no clue bout Irish pronunciation, usually people don't have even the idea that Irish language exists... usually they think that Irish/Scottish is English with an accent...)

Then again, sometimes it's good when Irish bands sing in English. Their Irish sounds so bad it's disastrous (native English speakers speaking Irish... usually sounds quite shitty).

However...
Karen Matheson is a wonderful singer from Scotland who also seems to be a native speaker of Scottish which makes her songs always sound authentic and nice. She represented France in the Eurovision song contest 1996 with a nice song in Breton.


Anuna... a reasonably grand Irish act. They have singers whose Irish sounds good... like this one... I heard that in this band they have at least some native speakers...


This song has a small documentary before it. As you can hear the bloke who speaks first has an accent which shows clearly he's not a native Irish speaker. When he shuts up, you hear native Irish.

Yeah, they do sing in English, you can imagine there are not many Irish learning courses here in Serbia

I don't know if it counts but loreena mckennitt does pretty good Celtic Music ... I love it

I love everything Irish aswell but mostly celtic punk like ... Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly.

Don't know too much about the genre but Flogging Molly is kickass (Celtic Folk Punk/rock sort of music).

As fare as pure Celtic goes, my mom listens to "Celtic Women" and they seem pretty good.

Nice thread, apparently an oldie but goodie, I'm gonna revive the fuck out of this one.

I love Irish music
