Good versions of rebel songs and traditional ballads. (1 Viewer)

[Scientician 0.8]

I really like old rebel songs (pre-1960s) and many traditional ballads of this island of ours. Unfortunately most of the recorded versions I hear of these tunes are ropey. The Dubliners and The Clancy Brothers are the only artists I've heard who do justice to the material. Anyone recommend any other singers or bands of this sort of stuff or great versions of old ballads and rebel songs? Thanks, .|..|

the voice of the people series has deadly stuff, im not sure if theres a rebel volume, but theres so many its quite likely i suppose. "buried in kilkenny" by some croaky woman is shockin bleak
