Where to begin? WHERE to begin?
Let's start with a few links from our founder.
These pages that have a number of excellent musicians listed.

A few I would add;

Traditional Celtic:
With an Irish slant- The Chieftains
Danu`

With a Scottish Slant- The Old Blind Dogs
The Battlefield Band

Tribal Celtic- Clann An Drumma
I heard their music described this way
"You have to move to the beat. It makes men want to
fight and women get frisky"

Finally just hold on to your kilt,
fun at the speed of sound, butt kicking Celtic music:
