Boy
the Fall is a busy time. We're spending every weekend at
the Texas Renaissance
Festival outside of Houston, and thusfar,
it has been a heckuva run. Perfect
weather, solid attendance, and growing audiences at our shows. We're about
halfway through
the run, and I just don't want it to end. Well, that's the
way
of it.
I
have been back on the MP3 warpath hunting down some great MP3s
like the ones
in todays issue. Next issue, we'll go back to some
more traditional music,
but right now, Celtic rock and bluegrass!
Remember to show your support for
the Celtic MP3s Music Magazine
and check out my store. You can now get the
cover to "Coventina's
Well" on a T-Shirt that looks fantastic! Check
it out at A Dragon's Eye

Celtic Music Band
Feature
Visit the artist's homepage by clicking the
link above Heather
Dale is Modern Celtic singer-songwriter, inspired by
ancient legends and
life. Her songs range from powerful Celtic
folk-rock, to haunting ballads.
Already well-known on MP3.com for
her incredible vocals reminisecent of Loreena
McKennit, Heather
is back with a new album and a powerful new sound. A few
months
ago, she put together a Celtic rock group that did a wee bit
o'touring. It's on a hiatus right now, but the songs I've heard
from that
album thusfar are wonderful like "The Kingsword". King
Arthur's sword Excalibur was once called the Sword in the
Stone -- the sorceror
Merlin had driven it into a boulder, and no
one except the true King of Britain
could remove it. This song
tells the tale of Excalibur with a driving sound.
Make sure you
also drop by her website to read the stories. Heather is also
an
exquisite Arthurian storyteller in addition to her medieval lore
and on and on. The woman is incredible!
Black
47 came together in 1989 playing a benefit concert for a
political activist.
During the set, someone in the audience shouted
to them to play something
Irish. Singer and frontman, Larry Kirwan,
told the man he was Irish and shut
up and listen. Since then Black
47 has been at the forefront of Celtic scene
as one of the most
controversial bands around and the biggest secret in great
Celtic
rock, recording eight albums combining an eclectic mix of rock,
reggae,
hip-hop and downtown noise fused with Irish traditional
music.
4. Celtic
Music Band Feature
Visit the artist's homepage by
clicking the link above "Ghost
Of The Molly Maguires" by Hair
of the Dog
Hair
of the Dog is a five-piece band with celtic, bluegrass and
folk influences.
The guys have steadily built a huge following
based on their hard-driving
sound and the fact that they cater to
audiences of all ages. While
adding lots of new bands to my directory I came back to
Hair of the Dog and
couldn't help but get sucked back into this
fun live recording from their
2001 release. Great bluegrass
version of this old miner song mixed with some
fantastic
harmonies. Yeah... this is what it's all about.
