Celtic Music Band
Feature
Visit the artist's homepage by clicking the
link above Heidi,
Stef & Bow Triplets play great Celtic music. Traditional
songs and tunes
plus original compositions combining their own
multinational backgrounds
with the Celtic styles to which this band
is deeply comitted. They can be
heard live in various countries in
Europe. They recently released an album
called "One Spot on
Earth" that highlights their growing talent. "Big
John McNeal" is one such example of fantastic fiddling. This
traditional
fiddle piece adapts itself wonderfully to the bluegrass
style. The original
fiddle tune composed by Peter Milnes was titled
"John McNeal."
Jay Ungar learned if from the Canadian fiddler Bud
Snow who said the tune
was widely known in Canada as "Big
John McNeal". The original tune
was written in Aberdeen, Scotland
by Peter Milne. Milne died in an Aberdeen
mental institution in
1908 (possibly the first recorded case of Fiddle Fever").
And once
you listen to this song, you'll get another case of "fiddle
fever"!
An
incredible blend of traditional Celtic music with modern rhythms.
The latest
album is the perfect representation of what has made
this band so incredibly
popular. The album features exquisite vocal
harmonies, plus some great songwriting.
Plus, you'll find some great
Celtic seafaring ballads. Highlights include
the title track "Sea
of No Cares", plus, "Scolding Wife"
and "French Perfume".
4. Celtic
Music Band Feature
Visit the artist's homepage by
clicking the link above So what
happened to Clandestine? Well, they broke up and each
artist has gone their
separate way. Piper E.J. Jones has joined
together some of the top Celtic
musicians on the scene to form
The Willow Band, also featuring Irish singer/songwriter,
Gerry
O'Beirne, and Irish/Breton fiddler, Rosie Shipley. Together they
combine great music, engaging personalities, and a fun show. You
can catch a glimpse of their top-notch performance on E.J.'s
solo CD, "The
Willow" which features a beautiful set of reels,
written in a Monterrey
CA hotel room after day on the road with
Clandestine. It's intricate and
melodious and features highlights
E.J.'s competition piping and beautiful
visualizations of Central
Texas bonfire at night.
