Well, I'm not opposed to some fantasy/romantic, non traditional celtic sounds. bands like Tartanic, the Rogues, Needfire, Bedlam Bards, the Blaggards, or Dead Rabbits would be a nice change from the traditional 'death and potatoes' Irish ballad bands. After hearing another weepy rendition of Athen Rye, it would be cool to hear the Blaggards' version where they mash it up with Folsom Prison Blues!
