I know the festival season has a long way to go still, but who are the best Ceilidh Band of the year so far? and who are the best up and coming?

Blackbeard's Teaparty has been very successful this and last year Steamchicken ditto, and perhaps a few years before as well.

"Older" bands such as Random, Climax Ceilidh band seem to have been usurped perhaps?

Any thoughts? ( I am also thinking towards who I book for next year!)
