Sorry, I don't think I am overly sentimental, but I love this song, which I find moving, and I love the Pogues, forever.

I don't know if it's genetic or what, but being a good part Scottish and a good part Irish, I just cant' get enough of this type of music. {#Lol}
 

Well, I don't know that I have a drop of Celtic blood, but Irish music, and the Pogues' music especially, moves me very much.

Try The Tossers - I especially like their Purgatory album. I've heard good things about The Popes, including Shane doing an album with them when he got out of rehab. Dropkick Murphy has some good stuff too, but it's more on the punk side of the Irish/punk fusion.
 
There's Flogging Mollys.  Saw them at Lollapalooza and they were great high energy Irish folk punk.
