If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

Donald,
If I am not mistaken, the opening is played on a sythesizer, programed to sound like bagpipes. Another group: Big Country did something similar in their self titled song "Big Country", except they played the tune on their guitars. The group Korn actually uses bagpies on some of their songs, but I'd hardly classify them as a "celtic rock" band.
Now, if you broaden the definiton to include modern pop/folk music, then the following two groups are definitly worth giving a listen to:
Rising Gael
The Gothard Sisters

There is a band from Texas called Cleghorne that played this year's Chicago Scots Highland Games And Scottish Festival. THEY ROCKED HARD, Highland Style. I missed Skerryvore the last time they were in town but they're coming back in a few weeks, and I hear they're pretty good.

The killdares are pretty good... I have had the opportunity to go to a few concerts for free as they are based out of my area... I do plan on going to the next concert here though.

My favorite is Cutthroat Shamrock. They're sort of Celtic, Appalachian-Bluegrass, Punk. Awesome.
The Mighty Regis is another one that is currently on heavy play.
Other than that, Flatfoot 56, The Real McKenzies, and Kilmaine Saints come to mind.
