1. Celtic Music News

"I found your site, Celtic MP3's.com, while looking for a source of Celtic music online. I am a writer (aka Amy Busby) and most of my stories involve Scotland or Ireland in one way or another. I have found it easier to write if I am listening to celtic music and you site has been a great help!"
-Amy Shultz, Arizona

Woohoo! I was able to pull off one more issue before I leave tomorrow for Italy! I found some great Christmas tracks through Celtic Ways to finish off the holiday season.

Though it's not featured this year, the Brobdingnagian Bards have two lovely instrumental versions of "Carol of the Bells" and "Greensleeves" (aka "What Child Is This?").

Claire Roche- "Dun Oìche Ùd I mBeitheal"

Claire Roche is a composer of songs for Harp and Piano, including setting the poetry of W.B. Yeats and Austin Clarke to music, Irish songs, instrumentals, and Wedding music.

"Dun Oìche Ùd I mBeitheal" is a traditional song from Claire's upcomgin CD, "Live Wanderings" and is an Irish translation of "To That Special Night In Bethlehem ...". It features Claire's gorgeous ethereal vocals and harp playing that is making her a favorite around Europe and at weddings. Keep an eye on her website for this new album. The tracks I've heard so far from the album are amazing!

The Wyndbreakers- "Jingle Bellski"

The Wyndbreakers are a popular Celtic band from Florida. Their music ranges from Irish Rovers to Riverdance. Their funny name from what I've heard is the perfect name for a fun party band playing an array of Scottish and Irish music from traditional ballads to lively tunes with a dash of humor thrown in between. Folks who come to see them live tap their toes and hum the songslong after we are gone, on their way home and in their sleep.

This live recording features The Wyndbreakers Russian version of a traditional Christmas folk song. It's a rocking lively mp3 that will both educate you and bring a smile to your face.
