If you appreciate the mixing-up of different genres, you'd have enjoyed a lot of the late-lamented Ron Kavana's music. The very best example of it on his records was the album Galway to Graceland, which, sadly, hardly got out of the traps. Lots of other good stuff too. He was a friend of the Pogues and would have been on The Irish Rover had he not had to babysit. You don't have to like him and his stuff but I love it, even though also I love "more pure" traditional Irish music...
