Brilliant instrumental trad album by these four master musicians: Joanie Madden, whistle/flute; Brian Conway, fiddle; Billy McComiskey accordion and Brendan Dolan, piano. In the tradition handed down to them by Irish immigrants in New York City, who were first their teachers and later colaborators. The sound comes mainly from Galway and Sligo, but was influenced by the rythmns of life in New York City. Many great tunes, but our favorite is Sean McGlynn's Waltz.

TAKE ME HOME

 

In the midst of their busy Spring 2009 tour, Celtic Thunder recorded their new DVD and a separate CD at Casino Rama in Ontario, Canada. This great recording shot to the top of theWorld Music charts. All the songs illustrate the talent and originality of these five outstanding performers, brilliantly guided by the musical director, Phil Coulter.

The CD opens with a standout performance by Keith of The Homes of Donegal. Keith takes the song, which began as a country ballad and was made a folk anthem by Paul Brady, into the 21st century sound of Celtic Thunder. A special treat on the DVD is seeing how Damian has grown and has perfected not only the vocals of the 50’s rock favorites - Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen and Breaking Up is Hard to Do, but also the stage antics of that era. The vocal power of the ensemble is demonstrated on their acapella version of Danny Boy. Fans will want both the DVD and the CD as each has material not available on the other.

GUTTER ANTHEMS

ETH as they are called by their fans is a uniquely situated celtic fusion band who merge the punk sound of Dropkick Murphys and the folk influence of their fellow Canadians, Great Big Sea. Rockin’ bagpipes abound but so do fiddles, tinwhistles, keyboards and synthesizers. With three vocalists, the band is well able to perform songs that tell stories. Check out The Death of Johnny Mooring or Noseworthy and Piercy. This is certainly the band’s best album to date and seems likely to take them from the festival circuit to the concert stage.
