Like bluegrass or blues, you just need to dive into the musical tradition and listen to a lot of Irish music. You will find beautiful music and dark music. Its a music full of stories and passion. Search for all the "classic' tunes and also look for the more modern ones. Irish music is a music unto itself.
A good Irish band that I know:

Their CD, First Light, is fantastic. Two are Irish immigrants that came to the States. Woderful musicianship, songs and taste.

But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come."
