James Kelly is a fucking badass and I love that set. Here's Kevin Burke killing it:

Of course, they are both following Michael Coleman:

 
Whiskey in the jar. Ride on. : i don't know the original artist or if it's old enough to be a folk song

Of course it's a folk song, some would say it has its roots in the 17th century, in any case it appears to have emerged sometime around the 1850s-70s.

The bouzouki player in my trio plays a Crump, beautiful instrument
 
@Cubo de Sangre take a look through this thread for the real deal ;)

Not sure if considered in the same genre at all but I always liked the ny irish bands.

Yeah man I fuckin love irish music. Grew up in bklyn. I'm part irish myself and grew up with a Lotta cultural irish, not plastic paddies. Rockaway peeps. Was in the AoH for a while when young. Was fun. Marched in the parade a few times. Went to a bunch of nyc irish band shows with pals whi were into it way morenthan me, like really followed the bands. Loved it all the same tho. Took a liking to Texas or rebel type country music so I loved that last one. Also really like bluegrass and folk music of all sorts which is why I like transatlantic sessions. Folk or country peeps from America and GB/scotland/Ireland in a cottage jamming with each other.

Fair play

Yeah there's a lot of links between american folk music and the folk of music of Ireland + Britain (because when they emigrated to america they brought their songs with them obviously).

Didn't like this too much though, love The Parting Glass but think it fits being stripped back a lot:

 
Delighted to see The Gloaming have a new album (their third) coming out next month

 
Here’s a great fushion set.
