I take it you mean 'trad' and not 'folk'? If so there are loads:

Hi lads,
do you know of any Irish trad groups that play around the south of Spain. I imagine there might be a few with all the Irish pubs about. Need one for me wedding.
Hint:If you find any music you like on youtube, make an account and then a playlist and then google and download youtube to Mp3 conververter and they will automatically go onto your itunes. Saves a bit of money and there are so many different bands that might 'tickle (mister)' your fancy so you have a whole lot of music at your fingerprints.
Bands
Fureys
Planxty are very good, but try and get Andy Irvine playing himself. Much better.
Bothy Band
Chieftians
Altan
Lunasa
I am more of a folk/republican music man myself, so only a wee bit of limited trad music pleases me.
So i like any irvine as I said above, christy moore, dick gaughan, declan hunt, irish brigade, johnny mcevoy, pogues, pol mcadaim, ciarin murphy, wakes.......................... i could go on but have to go!!! enjoy!
and of course the barley corn, wolfhound and men of no property!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll throw this in for good measure.... ;)
