names of good celtic bands that sing traditional music?

I have been listening to Arcona Reel Band, and various compilations of Celtic music, but I would like to learn more about specific bands, especially of vocal traditional music, but some instrumental reels/jigs, etc. mixed in are great too! Any recommendations? Thanks!

   Check out Chole Agnew. She’s awesome, and her voice is so pure

   Try listening to Gaelic Storm. I’m not sure they are what you are looking for, but they are good : )

   Seamus Eagan, Altan, Clannad, Mary Jane Lamond, Solas, Loreena McKennitt, The Bridies, Mary Black and Old Blind Dogs are good, I like Merry Wives of Windsor, and my favorite, Dougie MacLean.

   Check out Celtic Tides. It’s a CD by Putamayo, it’s got most of these bands on it. Great way to get familiar with the genre
