Thanks Mary Ellen, it was a freebie from a clipart site that I ran across a while ago.

So today I went to THe 20th Annual NH Highland Games at the Hopkinton Fairgrounds and got to see my boys in Clann An Drumma as well as sample some of the military bands and see a fw other groups like the Glengarry Boys. So many kilts...so little time...

New Hampshire, brilliant!
I went to their site;)
It'll be a valuable link.

Pity the timing was off...toward the middle of the week with Jeannie moving up the coast. The wind would have been so refreshing for the poor fellas in the kilts. A wonderment to behold.
Gracious,
Mary Ellen

I'm excited, elated, and cannot wait for Friday night, that would be tonight now, 10/22/04. Danu is doing a show in NYC at a club called Satalla at 37 West 26th St. We're going!!!
Danu is sweet, sweet, sweet!!!
If you're in the area and like traditional Irish music, you won't be disappointed if you swing by Satalla for the show. Details can be had by phone at 212-576-1155 and on the web at www.satalla.com.
You can get tix at the door, but use Smarttix to guarantee a seat, www.smarttix.com
I'd love to see you there. Say "hello."
Best wishes,
Mary Ellen

Okay, I'm new here, but I just wanted to say that Gaelic Storm is my favorite band...ever! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Their music can either make you dance/sing to yourself in the car like crazy or make you cry (in a good way). I would definitely recommend checking them out if you're not familiar with their music. In fact, I'm almost positive that they're touring starting this month- their concerts are most definitely worth going to. I think I'm babbling, so I'll just post their web site so you can check them out for yourselves:
www.gaelicstorm.com

Sorry about the rant- I get really excited when I talk about Irish Music. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Gaelicstorm is dynamite! You're right to rant! I did visit the web site. They have quite a tour schedule going. Good on them.
Thanks for the heads up. I love to plug good Irish bands and musicians.
Is that a digideroo I see? hahahah! Sounds great!
It suits Irish music to a "T." Looks just like something Paddy would have invented.
:music: Good luck to them. I'm sure they'll have a fantastic tour and I'm happy to help in any way I can.
God bless,
Mary Ellen

OK, maybe it isn't really "Celtic" music, but I also love many of those old songs that refer to places or events in Ireland. For example, I go to sleep to Martha Clancy's CD "The Towns I love So Well". She's a harpist, and the CD includes "Galway Bay" and "Carrickfergus". And yes, Mary Ellen, I have to confess I love the Irish Tenors CD "Heritage", especially "Fields of Athenry",(quit groaning), "Song for Ireland", "The Parting Glass" and "I'll Take you Home Again Kathleen". I can still hear my father singing that around the house.
As far as bands doing what I guess is called traditional Irish music, I like Dervish (from Sligo) and have every one of their CDs. Also I like Altan and The Tannahill Weavers.
It's fun to hear about bands or people others know about...there are several mentioned in previous threads I have to check out.
Wish I could be "out East" to check out all the music goings on there.
Cheers!

Hi Jeri:
Did you hear the Chieftains in concert in China? Talk about a wonderful melding of cultures. It was so beautiful, it's beyond description.
Anyway, you're the one who gets lucky with the Gaelicstorm. They're _everywhere_ except where I am this year. Follow their link and there's a schedule of their tour...hard-working folk, that's for sure. They're probably going to be somewhere right in your backyard and from what I've heard of them, yep, there's a CD here...they're worth spending a lot of time with.
Me groan over "The Fields of Athenry?" Only if I'm stone-cold. If I've had a couple, I might be the one who started it.<G>
Irish musicians use everything, even spoons, to make sounds. I was just enchanted to see an aboriginal pipe and the only "Irish" instrument Gaelicstorm was using was a fiddle. All the rest of the instruments were "exotic." Kewl!
Me, like Irish music? Not much.
Love ya,
ME

Mary Ellen: I checked out Danu and Gaelic Storm. Both are going to be in the Twin Cities (i.e. Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN) this year. I live about 70 miles South of there, so it's not a bad jaunt at all. Plus, my son Joe lives in Mpls, and he's the one who turned me on to traditional Irish music, so it'll be twice as nice to go up there for a concert or two.
By the way, do you have any news on how Eamon did on the exams?
I'll have to check out the Chieftains in China. They've certainly gone far afield! Flight of ideas....are you going to Ireland this month to see the daffodils??? Jeri

Ellen,

I am so bad. I did not visit your forum before. I see that lots of our guys were visiting already.

Talking about the music, I really love Enya! I have 4 her Cds and she is my favorite. But all the music is pretty old - at least 5-10 years old, I did not hear what is with her now?
