Absolutely! But generally, trad/folk/celtic is kinda 'nice' music, that you know you could play in front of your parents, or your kids - they may not enjoy it, but you won't offend.well but...well...its still celt innit?
The Pogues, however! Here are some choice quotes....

And who'd-a thunk a bunch of drunken Irishmen would know the f-word? MM, too bad you didn't see Flook! Dunno when they'll make it back to this side of the pond -- Sarah, the alto flutist, had a baby in February, and all their tour dates are in the UK and Europe for the next few months (NO, I'm not so geeky that I check their tour schedule, OKAY?? I have it e-mailed to me
). But if you get the chance again, give 'em a try. They're sort of trad-but-not-trad. I hear all sorts of influences in their stuff -- jazz, country, Middle Eastern, even a little New Age spacy stuff on the last album. Lots of fun.Stonemaybe, thanks for the links! I think I borrowed a Four Men and a Dog CD from a friend awhile ago and liked 'em.

Enya's a terrific composer. The Celts is indeed her earliest release - in fact, it was originally released as a BBC theme tunes tape for a 1980s documentary of the same name. She recorded it as a virtual unknown (particularly outside of Ireland) and in my opinion, it's her best and least commercial album.
Words like 'finance' bore me,
Interest in the world of cash ignores me...
Only when I hunger does it grab me,
Only when I borrow does it stab me...

Yes, I saw that documentary - that's how I came to know Enya's music. I do agree that The Celts was her most cohesive album.
Unfortunately, she's fallen off my music radar. I haven't listened to her last couple of studio efforts. The last one I bought was The Memory of Trees, which was mostly forgettable, in my opinion.
If I want an Enya fix these days, I just put on the excellent Paint The Sky With Stars compilation.
