Flower of Scotland


The Corries The Roses o' Prince Charlie


15 - The Lads Among Heather


The Corries-MacPherson's Rant, live recording!


The Corries --- Garten Mother's Lullaby


The Corries --- I Once Loved A Lass

Another one from the excellent Fishermans Blues album it features Tomas Mac Eoin and a poem by W.B Yeats.




I can remember this being sang at many a family gathering in my early days.




One of my all time favourite bands giving their take on one of the best known Irish songs.




Nothing like being at Parkhead and listening to this, my favourite Irish song of all.

Those were just beautiful.

North Sea Gas --- Caledonia


Celticburn --- Floddens Green Loanin


The Chieftains - Women Of Ireland (Mná na h-Éireann)
I believe this is the theme to "Wuthering Heights" one of them.
The one with Ray Fienes. Sinead O'Connor at the end. Beautiful piece.

She probably won't win any popularity contest but what a voice.

I've always loved Sinead O'Conner.

She does have a beautiful voice. Welcome to the thread.



ETA: I just noticed tan, the photography, Sinead with that black background, just a stunning photo.

The Chieftains & Alison Krauss - Molly Ban
(Some Appalachian Bluegrass with an over the Pond Ireland well known band)

Great thread. I love this stuff. It reminds me of jamming with the old guys in the mountains when I was a kid.

Amazing Blondel "Celestial Light"

Here's a video of one of my bands, me on banjo this time.
Fiddle playeris scottish, spanish guitarist, swedish flute, bodran player is english and i'm Oirish.
Absolutley hated irish diddle ee ii music growing up, got into punk, rock and Techno. I found an old banjo about a year ago and found that i had been preprogrammed by my parents and actually remembered a lot of songs from my childhood. Great fun to play and you get free BEER!!

I liked both of those.

Your first video especially. It had a Celtic/Goth sound to it.

Thanks for sharing this! Your own personal jam session. I'm still watching it. Letting it load. Your banjo playing is good foot tapping is a good sign.

I find that our cousins across the pond do the House, Trance, Chill better than us in America. Free BEER is never a bad thing.

I really liked this add. This is great stuff. Thanks.

Having a bit of a Celtic day myself.








HAHA This one always makes me feel like a kid again.
