You have to check out Scythian. Here's their website, which details their background and lists their upcoming gigs.
http://www.scythianmusic.com
I have no affiliation to these guys whatsoever, I've just caught them a few times at Fado. The energy of their shows is unmatched, and really infectious* (I plan on seeing them everytime I can). The mp3s on the website don't do them justice; they are unbelievably skilled at a wide variety of instruments, and they play blindingly fast during their live shows. They play not only Celtic stuff, but a wide variety of covers too.
Their career seems to be taking off nicely, but you can still catch them in a relatively intimate setting, such as Fado, so I urge you to get out and see these guys if you like high-energy fun. Even if you don't go for this type of music, the excitement of their show guarantees you'll have a good time. The last time I saw them I was with people who have no interest in this stuff, but by the end of the night they were jumping up and down like fools along with the rest of us. Though that might have had something to do with the car bombs...
*check out the guestbook on their website, you'll see I'm not alone in my estimation of their shows
