FUNNY GIVEAWAY OBSERVATION
I find it very amusing that so many people sign up for my
newsletter and yet only a few people respond when they win
CDs. Maybe I'll have to change the CD Giveaway a wee bit for
just the loyal readers? I'd love to get some feedback on that.

TOLKIEN CD UPDATE
If you haven't heard the news, the Brobdingnagian Bards have
been working on their next CD, "Memories of Middle Earth".
The CD is almost complete! Final touches will be made this
weekend. So stay tuned!

ezine. What do you think of that idea? Give me your Yay or
Nay votes.

2. Celtic Music Band Feature

The Irish Experience - "Rocky Road to Dublin & Tam Lin"

The Irish Experience is a Blarney Phoenix, that rises up on Saint Patrick's Eve and brings bountiful cheer to all the little people at heart. The Irish Experience is a festive force, an insatiable "jig". The Irish Experience is renewed vigor. They perform Celtic and Appalachian music on traditional and electric instruments.

The Irish Experience begin the set with an delicate electric guitar when in steps the electric fiddle playing an instrumental version of the "Rocky Road to Dublin" slip jig. The guitar ends and the fiddle takes off backed by down bass and percussion as the band jumps into a breakneck version of the "Tam Lin" reel. It stops followed by bass version and back into the reell more fiery than before.

When I read the bio of the band, they mentioned how Snowboarders loved their music, and well, I can see that. It's high-impact, Mountain Dew (the soft drink), Celtic music at it's finest.

"28 Irish Pub Songs" by The Clancy Brothers

Many, many people who first heard traditional Irish songs, heard them from The Clancy Brothers. This collection by the Clancys and Tommy Makem contains over two dozen songs that have become the staple for most pub bands from "The Moonshiner" to "Rising of the Moon", "Foggy Dew" to "The Parting Glass." It's a rousing collection at price that can not be beat!

4. Celtic Music Band Feature
Visit the artist's homepage by clicking the link above

The Angel's Share - "Ten Penny Bit"

Formed in December 1998, the Angels' Share perform what they describe as Celtic music that is guaranteed to get your hands clapping and your feet tapping. They have appeared at venues around Northamptonshire as well as playing in the Lake District and Scotland including the Western Highlands and Islands. Their recent tour of Scotland also included Glasgow, Edinburgh and Falkirk.  With an assortment of musical backgrounds from classical and opera to Rock 'n Roll, they are sufficiently different.

When you start listening to this song, you're gonna think you've found a Celtic New Age band with some heavy synthesizers forming a body of sound behind a beautiful flute solo. But then you find out what this band is made of as they break into a toe-tapping reel that'll set your head spinning! Fantastic fiddle performance by Mark Osborne.
