"Best tell Planxty to shut the fuck up then"
Irish traditional singing is basically unaccompanied, as is its English counterpart; there is no proof that it has ever been otherwise.
The English revival has introduced instrumental accompaniment with a degree of success (sometimes)
Irish bands have taken from the tradition and made it something else by more or less abandoning traditional styles, but by and large, the singing here remains unaccompanied.
The only ones here to have suggested that anybody should "shut up" are you morons who have constantly sneered at those who use traditional styles and repertoire.
Why do you go out of your way to be as unpleasant as you obviously are and as persistently dishonest in deliberately distorting what others have to say – you can't be that insecure, surely?

Your statements get more and more racist very time you post – do I detect a Nuemberg rally in the offing?
Stop behaving like a thug and trying to bully people into silence, you moron – you're as unstable as the Skibbereen Stalker, it really doesn't impress and makes you look somewhat childish
Keep your toys in the pram or I shall take them off you.
