About Me

..

For many of us, here's how it all began: Isle of hope, Isle of tears

Now, here is a great video: Scotland the Brave
CELTIC MUSIC FOREVER - What it's all about :

With this Myspace web page I get to share one of my recently found passions - Celtic Music. Please enjoy the music videos - maybe you will latch on to a new group or an old favorite.  Visit "My Friends".  You will find that many are Celtic music artists ranging from well-known to virtually undiscovered. All seem to enjoy playing music having a Celtic influence. , Some are quite true to the traditional while others have taken the old songs or old instruments and produced a different sound just tinged with the traditional -  Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys , etc.. The artists hail not only from Ireland and Scotland, but also Canada, Australia, the U.S. and even Asia.

Some of the friends listed are not singers or songwriters. Instead, they are internet radio stations, newsletters or podcasts geared to providing listeners a chance to hear some of these great performers and learn more about them..

From time to time I will let you know more about some of my favorites, old and new.  Also I will try to provide some links to the performers' and informers' web sites as I get the time.  The point is, as I have discovered my Irish, Scottish, and Scots-Irish roots, I have become awed by the music of the people. I want to share that awe and enjoyment with you. So stop by  often and please leave a comment.  It's nice to know who's out there!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Well naturally every one of these performers and informers. But to name a select few, one would have to be Kate Rusby. Kate is from Yorkshire and has been one of my favourite artists since the beginning of her career. Her love for the traditional songs and her magnificent voice and talents earn her a prime spot on this page. Here are some links to a few Kate Rusby videos:
Underneath the Stars

Who Will Sing Me Lullabies
