They're a novelty act. As you've said Pete, they're quite fun in small doses but listening to them for a prolonged period causes the novelty to wear thin.
I can't really take them seriously, it's a drunken Irish man wailing ridiculous lyrics about losing his leg into a microphone accompanied by some fiddler players and guitarists. A track or two of theirs on shuffle is good, a whole album not so much.
