Duo looking for trad irish songs to learn

Hi Myself and my sister are starting a two piece acoustic band. I play the guitar and she can play fiddle, flute, tin whistle and cajon. We have our setlist already but need more traditional songs for it. I was wondering does anyone know any lively songs along the line of The Pogues, Damien Dempsey, Planxty, Christy Moore…

Hi

Myself and my sister are starting a two piece acoustic band. I play the guitar and she can play fiddle, flute, tin whistle and cajon. We have our setlist already but need more traditional songs for it.

I was wondering does anyone know any lively songs along the line of The Pogues, Damien Dempsey, Planxty, Christy Moore etc. that she could play along to with the trad instuments.

Cheers

Black rose thin lizzy would be an amazing finale but very technical. Lonesome Batman. Ride on. Swedish jig. The island by p. Brady could also work well. Besides dubliners and the fureys
