If you want authentic Irish music with bagpipes...
HOT TAKE: Irish music isn't especially good and there's a reason most people only listen to it one day a year. It's the whole roasted turkey of music.
Here's an Irish Blues stringer (Gary Moore, one of my favorite blue's performers) with Eric Bell the original Thin Lizzy guitarist. I like it better than Metallica.
17ing amateurs. No mention of the Dropkick Murphys???!?!?!!?
I was gonna post this, but he is Canadian.
Close enough.

It was more of a "Fitzgerald" thing
I was trying to be humorous.
I'm too lazy to post some of their songs, but the Wolfe Tones are traditional Pro-IRA songs. So certainly a bit problematic, but nonetheless some interesting songs especially viewed through historical context. Great Big Sea was a Canadian band from Newfoundland that has a lot of Irish musical influences.
Some options there to check out.
Lastly my kids are with their grandparents, and I've taken a stronger edible than normal so if this post makes absolute no sense I'll delete in the morning.

Someone asked for Irish songs, and not one person has listed Celtic Woman....so here
Not sure if it rates this list, but what about The Gael from The Last of the Mohicans. Every time I hear that song I want to run randomly through the woods.
One of the best soundtracks of all time, in my book. Right up there with Braveheart and Glory.
Whenever I go to my parents' mountain house in the lower Appalachians in NC and I see waterfalls, this automatically starts playing in my head.
