Well,
it's been such a busy last few months, it looks I'm gonna
have to change
the way I publish this ezine if I want to keep
publishing. So for now on
I'm gonna start composing a month or
two or more in advance. So I should
know what's coming up with
every issue.
FOR
MUSICIANS
Consequently, if you are an musician seeking a review, I now ask
that you send the following: 1.
One CD (or two if you'd like a bonus feature in the giveaway),
2. Where one

to my Celtic compilation
Austin Celtic Association (coming soon)
that will be downloadable,
3.
A biography and fact sheet about your band and upcoming
events. If
you have already sent a CD, more than likely I'll be reviewing
you in the
very near future. But please contact me to find out
if I actually received

Have you enjoyed the Brobdingnagian Bards song "Tolkien (The
Hobbit & Lord of the Rings)"? Well, I am VERY pleased to announce that
the CD is now done. We've pre-released it exclusively to MP3.com. The final version
will be officially released later this summer as we prepare for our CD release
of the album. If you're interested in finding out more, please consider buying
a copy of the album and/or joining our Nagian

Feature

After "House" and "Garage" there is a new acoustic
vibe on the
scene, and it's "Kitchen". After all where is the best
place to
be at a party? seriouskitchen embody the folk tradition and make
it their own, from kicking jigs and reels to the most ancient of
ballads.
If they haven't written it, then its stripped to the bare
ingredients and
cooked up into something seriously fresh and tasty.
Based in Essex, U.K.,
seriouskitchen is laying down a sound that
is both traditional and contemporary
with brilliant arrangements
and fantastic performances. "Young
Hunting" is one such brilliant piece from their latest album,
"Tig".
It's a traditional song that tells a powerful and passionate
tale about a
young man murdered by a lady scoffed by this young
hunter. Nick Hennessey's
powerful and distinctive vocals
combined with Jonny Dyer's contemporary guitar
sound and Vicki
Swan's delicate fluting make for an absolutely stirring piece.
This
is one incredible band, and if this song doesn't convince you that
you need the album...well, there are others that will!
"The Visit" was Loreena McKennit's 1992 breakthrough
album
that combines a variety of Celtic styles. It features such magical
pieces as "Bonny Portmore" and "Lady of Shalott". But it opens
up with a wonderful song for Halloween, "All Souls Night".

Music Band Feature
Visit the artist's homepage by
clicking the link above The
Melbourne Scottish Fiddle Club is a group of people in
Melbourne, Australia,
with an interest in Scottish fiddle music.
The members range in age from
10 to 70. They meet and perform
regularly. For anyone living in the Melbourne
area who might be
interested in joining the club, they meet on the second
Sunday of
each month at St Aidan's Uniting Church, Duggan Street, North
Balwyn. The meetings start at 2.00 PM and finish around 5.00.
They recorded
their first CD in 1999, but recently completed
another that even includes
a song by Celtic songwriter Eric Bogle. "Teenager's
Go Nuts" is a great track that will be on an upcoming
Celtic MP3s compilation
CD and features several great reels,
including: Pierre's Right Arm (Brian
Pickell), Landslide Village
(Traditional French Canadian) / Reel du Forgeron
(Traditional
French Canadian). Take a listen and you'll get a glimpse of
why
they named their latest album, "Reel Cool".
