I like Flogging Molly as well, but the Prodigals I haven't heard of. I'll have to hunt them up. Black 47 was the first Celtic rock/punk band I heard- the lead singer (Larry Kirwan) has kind of an odd voice, but it grows on you. They have some songs on their website (http://www.black47.com/), if you're curious. The two I usually play for people ("Road to Ruin" and "Different Drummer") aren't there, but "Funky Ceili" is lots of fun and very catchy, "I Ain't Marching Anymore" is good (though I'll always prefer Phil Ochs' original), and "Danny Boy" and "Fanatic Heart" are a good representation of their political songs (my favorite of those is "James Connelly"- awesome, awesome song). And, um, the end. Heh. *g*
