check out luke kelly on youtube for the definitive version of the auld triangle. while you're there have a look at raglan road and scorn not his simplicity.

turns out the hairy one's a dude. metal one too. all dudes...

The Pogues do a really awesome version The Auld Triangle - it's up on YouTube; you should check it out. If you like it, they're just a really awesome band and there's much more to check out as well.

For pretty melodies and harmonies, look into Peter, Paul and Mary - they have lovely versions of Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and traditional songs.

Steeleye Span are excellent, with gorgeous harmonies and a lot of energy.

Then there are bands such as Silly Wizzard, or solo acts like Dougie Maclean.

I think I'd steer you towards Steeleye Span first, then Peter, Paul and Mary. But if you want gut-punches instead of beauty, the Pogues are the way to go.

I first heard The Auld Triangle by The Dubliners on an album called 15 Years On in 1977. As our friend above says, it featured Luke Kelly on lead vocals with wonderful a capella harmonies from the others. I've always preferred The Dubliners to the Clancies - just personal taste. You could do worse than explore their compilation albums, of which there are hundreds, or for a proper "studio" album, Revolution. There are many live albums too - the best, in my opinion, being The Dubliners Live (1974). It features Ciaran Bourke's last contributions before a stroke, and Ronnie Drew's last recording for several years during which he went solo. As such, it's the Dubliners at the height of their powers.




No Guru, No Method, No Teacher.

Christy Moore, maybe? Check out his solo stuff, various collabs (including one with Shane and his earlier work with Planxty.

He did an incredible a capella (+ bodhran) take on Well Below the Valley.
