I've just read about This Ain't No Disco, the Youtube series about the new wave of traditional Irish folk musicians. It sounds like my kind of thing. Does anyone know anything else about the musicians mentioned? I've never heard of Junior Brother, for example. Are there lots of these Lankum-esque musicians coming out of Ireland at the moment? Who else should I look out for?

More folk than traditional, arguably.

O'Reilly has an eye for intense musicianship. Now in its second series, the website is here:

Worth checking Myles O Reilly's YouTube and other channels as well.
