TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. In 2026, we're traveling to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We'll dive deep into the history and legends of the Galician Celts, uncovering their connections to Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. We'll walk the same lands where Celtic warriors once roamed, hear the myths passed down through generations, and experience the magic of authentic Galician Celtic music, alive with passion and history. This isn't just a trip—it's a journey into the heart of a Celtic culture unlike any other. Will you join us?

Is there a new Celtic CD or Celtic band that you heard of or saw? I'd love to see a  picture of what you're doing while listening. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Xavier emailed: “Hi ! Thank you for your podcast. I discovered Celtic music in the 1990s in France with a french band that has since disappeared, Tonynara. I could be wrong but I don't think I've ever heard it on your podcast. This group remains a reference for me and I can only advise you to play one or two songs at the next opportunity. Thanks !” Caleb Cotter sent a photo: "Hi Marc, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for featuring the Irish Lassies' music this year. You've introduced me to so many incredible artists, and I truly appreciate that! I've also been really enjoying your Dancing with Hobbits album—it's fantastic! You definitely nailed it with that project, and you should be incredibly proud of it. You've always encouraged us to send over recommendations, so I wanted to share one with you: My friend's band, The Mad Ferret from Edinburgh, UK. They're amazing, and I think you'd really enjoy their music. Here's one of my favorite tracks that I think you'll love. Also, the Lassies would like to send you something in the mail as a thank you. Could you please share an address where we can send it? Wishing you a wonderful New Year and thank you again for everything you do for the Celtic music community!” Patrick Rieger emailed photos: "Hi Marc, Some more celtic musicians from the family's renaissance festival season, this time the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival. Pittsburgh is a small faire, but the musicians are still great. We could only spend one day there, so we didn't see them all. We did get to see The Reelin' Rogues, The Craic Show, Sarah the Harpist (Sarah Marie Mullen), and just as we were leaving at the end of the day, Magnus and Maggie. Despite the musicians and us seeing each other one or two times a year, we still get to be friends. Big smiles. Daniel from the Craic Show wanting to clink glasses at the Pirates Pub. Sarah and my wife Gayle got into a conversation about environmental issues.”

Email me at celticpodcast@gmail, message me on Facebook, or contact me through Mastodon @celtfather@c.im. Betty Collette emailed: "I'm listening to today's new podcast and sewing! I make tshirt quilts and this one is #3 of 5. I love listening to Celtic music when I sew and especially on Thursdays with a new podcast! Thanks a bunch for all you share with us!" Solange Benoit commented on Facebook about Kilrush: "Love these guys and gal! Their friendship and genuine respect for each other, shows on stage. Individually talented but together, simply amazing!" Mary Beth Carty commented on Facebook: "Sometimes you just gotta go to the fair, and when you're there, you gotta... move through it Thanks for the spin, it's an honour!" Dan C sent a message on Patreon: "Hey Marc. Heard your request for new bands and I feel the Drowsy Lads would a excellent band to feature. I've heard them play on the main stages of the Dublin and Milwaukee Irish Music festivals. I personally sent them a submission form from your website and hoping they fill it out because their music is great. Thanks for all the hard work you do for the podcast. Cheers my friend" Bill M messaged on Patreon: "Hello Mark, You have asked for feedback hundreds of times over the past 15+ years.  But there was something about your 534th request  that moved me to type you this message. I am among the listeners who you once called – “the original iTunes 1,000”.  I think I started listening to your podcast at the same time I discovered iTunes. Figuring out how to download your podcast is the basically all I know how to do with my iPhone.  I am not any good with this social networking stuff.  In fact, I am not even certain if I am on the right website right now.  This message will likely shoot pass the Serenity and end up in the nihility of empty space.  But I will keep typing in the event this message somehow ends up on your desk. I literally listen to every one of your podcast at least once a year and more likely two or three times a year.  Before you get a restraining order, let me explain. I have a small goat dairy with about 15 goats.  I play your podcast for several hours a day, several days per week.  I download between 10 to 20 podcast every other week.  My sound system loops them over and over again, Monday through Saturday.  On Sunday I put on a playlist of religious music for the kids. Your biggest fan is my #1 goat, MayBelle.  If I can figure it out, I will attach a picture of her.  You might say I am writing you in her behalf.  MayBelle really likes the lovely voices of women singers.  Sometimes you catch her taking a pause to listen to an angelic voice.  She will stand in the doorway of the barn, where the music is the loudest, and sway back and forth, just listening to the music. And sometimes a song will make MayBelle throw a hoof my way.  MayBelle listens to your podcast while I am milking her.  She normally stands peacefully; but when you play some punk rock Celtic music; the change in tone startles her and she starts kicking. So since you keep asking for feedback, here it comes.  You might want to consider doing a shout - out before you start playing the more heavy, rock - and - roll music.  Say something like  -  “Hey MayBelle, here comes a head banger!”  This way she can go to her happy place for a while, or at least I get a cue to watch out for flying hooves. When I am not around the barn, I like to listen to your Pub Songs podcast.  In fact I am listening to Sci - Fi Pub Songs Podcast #265 as I type this message.   I don't play these podcasts in the paddock because some of the songs and stories have adult content that are not suitable for kids.  {just kidding  -  maybe} A little more feedback.  I really like the way you link the singers to your podcast.  You introduced me to the Wicked Tinkers, Boston Blackhorn,  Irish Rovers, Three Mile Stone –  just to name a few.  Your podcast makes it easy to find their websites and download songs for my eclectic collection of Celtic tunes.  I even downloaded some of the headbangers that make MayBelle's ears bleed. You have given me and my goats so many hours of wonderful and delightful music.   From all of us at MT Acres, we say – thank you, thank you, thank you......"

That means it is original songs fusing pop culture themes with Irish drinking songs. There are some traditional music on the album.

Selcouth means, “when everything is strange and different, yet you find it marvelous anyway.” The album is not completely Celtic and it's not just science fiction and fantasy.

My husband and I started listening to Trip to the Cottage's back catalog (from Radio Kerry) way back in March 2020 but it went off the air and they recently seem to have taken down all the old episodes, alas! So we needed a new Celtic music fix for our nightly Guinness by the fire! :) This is a great show. Thanks for making it, and I am so pumped there are over 500 episodes to go back to as a new listener!

I recently became a $5 an episode patron after just being a listener for a while.   As I sat listening to this week's music it was a rainy day here in Boise Idaho and the music was perfect!  I picked up some new artists to follow (Eira, Beth Patterson, and Thomas Patrick Kenny) as well. I am a musician and have played drums with our local pipes and drums bands and always appreciate the great independent artists that play at our local Celtic festival which has unfortunately been canceled last year and looks like this year as well. I also maintain the website for the Western USA MacLachlan Clan. Thanks for all you do concerning things Celtic music, pubs and travel.”

I did like the running podcast you did even though I don’t run.  Appreciate your podcast. Thanks much for all the music." Terry E. asked by email: "Hi Marc ... Will Celtic Music Mag be featuring anything on Leahy and also the band Cécilia (Erin Leahy is also a member of this band as well) ... as they both have new CD’s out and Leahy has a Christmas song out too ... it would be great to see/ hear them on your podcasts or magazine.  Thank you for taking time to read my rant for the day..." Trevor N. Teuscher emailed: "Hey Marc, I have something of a request for a song to play on a future podcast, if it is possible. I don't recall if you have ever played any songs by the band Touchstone or not. I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't since they were only active in the early 1980's. However it was lead by the still active and highly influential Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill. On their album, The New Land, is a song titled Susannah Martin. This song brings together two seemingly very different interests of mine: Irish and Celtic Music and the history of the Salem Witch Trials. I have recently been studying a lot about the history of the Salem Witch Trials, since I recently discovered various familial connections to many of the people involved in those historical events. Susannah Martin, the subject of the song, is especially important to me personally, since she is my 10th great grandmother. The song tells her story in a hauntingly beautiful way. Anyway, I don't know how easy it would be to get permission to play songs from a band that hasn't been together for several decades, but if you can, I would be grateful. Slainte, Trevor"

Well, they've ploughed, They've sown, they've harrowed him in Threw clouds upon his head Till these three men were satisfied John Barleycorn was dead They've let him lie for a long long time Till the rains from heaven did fall And little sir John sprang up his head And so amazed them all They let him fly till the midsummer's day Till he looked both pale and wan, oh Then little Sir John has grown a long long beard And so became a man They have hired men with the scythes so sharp To cut him off at the knee, They rolled and they tied him around the waist Serving him most him barbarously They hired men with the sharp pitchforks To prick him to the heart And the loader he has served him worse than that For he's bound him to the cart Well, they've wheeled him 'round and 'round the field Till they came onto a barn And there they made their solemn oath Concerning a Barleycorn They hired men with the crab tree sticks To split him skin from bone, yeah But the miller he has served him worst and bad For he ground him between two stones Well there's beer all in the barrel And brandy in the glass, But little old sir John with his nut-brown bowl Proved the strongest man at last John Barleycorn, throw him up, throw him up! Now the huntsman, he can't hunt the fox Nor loudly blow his horn And the tinker he can't mend his pots Without John Barleycorn, John Barleycorn, John Barleycorn Barleycorn, Barleycorn John Barleycorn, John Barleycorn     The Night Pat Murphy Died   Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet; As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died About two o'clock in the morning after empty'ing the jug Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind! That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet; As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died     Great to be a Pirate   Soon you'll be a dead man   Ain't it great to be a pirate, laddie To sail the seas and to end just like your daddy Draw your cutlass, spark your pistol's flash pan Steal gold to spend before you are a dead man soon you'll be a dead man.   Welcome to the ship, you're now one of the crew We've lots of fun since we have so much to do We've sails to mend, and decks for which to swab A bilge to pump, and lots of other jobs   There's lots of ropes, a-ready for the climbing We need a nesting' crow, since our last he went deck divin' And if you find, in Hell you are a doubter We're always runnin' short, of monkeys for the powder   Down in the galley, the bread is cooked with raisins To hide the maggots, in the flower Cookie's raisin' The water's going bad, in the barrels where its keepin' The rum is getting stronger, since the First Mate's heads been steepin'   In every port, the ladies there are waitin' To take the gold, from each man whose loins are achin' Then back to sea, to start it all again Or face the gallows, and become a freer man   all together tenor and bass finish with ""for soon you'll be a dead man.""   Ain't it great, to be a pirate, Laddie To sail the seas, and to hang just like your daddy Draw your cutlass, spark your pistol's flash pan Steal gold to spend, for soon you'll be a dead man for soon you'll be a dead man.     Wild Mountain Tyme   Oh, the summertime is comin' And the trees are sweetly bloomin' And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the purple heather Will you go? Lassie, will you go? And we'll all go together To pick wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will you go? Lassie, will you go? I will build my love a tower By yon pure and crystal fountain Yes and on it I will lay All the flowers of the mountain Will you go? Lassie, will ya go? And we will all go together To pick wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will you go? Lassie, will you go?

And we will all go together To pick wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will you go? Will you go? Lassie will you go?     The Man in the Moon   The man in the moon dropped in last night He and Miss Muffet stopped in for a bite They said little boy blue was out for the night Chasing cows through the Milky Way They ask my opinion on kippers and kings And did I think trouble went around like a ring Did you ever hear such a curious thing Did you think it would make me cry I say to myself down and said where did you go Why did you leave as I started to grow They both shake their heads and softly said no It’s a trick of perspective you see Like all the king’s horses and all the kings men You’ve been marching away since this story began You went straight away in search of an end For something you thought might be Now I sit at a desk while my dreams all die The telephone rings, the debts pile high While I’d rather be somewhere up in the sky Singing songs with the man in the moon Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Op above the world so high A diamond in the sky They both smiled and stood and said thanks for the tea But they had an appointment at a quarter to three They said look them up if by chance I was free They’d be happy to shine on down So I’m sleeping out in the yard tonight And I don’t care if the midges may bite For the stars overhead are a beautiful sight And the moon is shining down So when you sit at your desk in your dreams all die The telephone rings and the debts pile high Wouldn’t you rather be up in the sky Singing songs with the man in the moon Oh what a wonderful tune Singing songs with the man on the moon.       Bonnie Ship the Diamond   The Diamond is a ship, my lads For the Davis Strait we're bound The quay it is all garnished With bonnie lasses 'round Captain Thompson gives the order To sail the ocean wide Where the sun it never sets, my lads Nor darkness dims the sky For it's cheer up my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-hunting for the whale Along the quay at Peterhead The lasses stand aroon Wi' their shawls all pulled around them And the saut tears runnin' doon Don't you weep, my bonnie wee lass Though you be left behind For the rose will grow on Greenland's ice Before we change our mind For it's cheer up my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-hunting for the whale Here's a health to the Resolution Likewise the Eliza Swan Three cheers for the Battler of Montrose And the Diamond, ship of fame We wear the trousers o' the white The jackets o' the blue When we get back to Peterhead We'll hae sweethearts enou' For it's cheer up my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-hunting for the whale It will be bright both day and night When the Greenland lads come hame Our ship full up with oil, my lads And money to our name We'll make the cradles for to rock And the blankets for to tear And every lass in Peterhead sing ""Hushabye, my dear"" For it's cheer up my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-hunting for the whale For it's cheer up my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-hunting for the whale     We are Ye Banished Privateers   Ye Banished Privateers In a filthy old tavern in the port of Belfast There sat a drunken laddie, he was tall as a scooner's mast He said ""My name is Charles and I am your king An' my royal arse on your ship you shall bring!"" Well I said ""You sure can swagger, but a king you are not"" And if I had that fucker here, I'd sure have him shot! ""But I need one more swabber, and we're leavin' tonight And you'll find the pay is good, can you sail, can you fight."" We are Ye Banished Privateers We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared We are Ye Banished Privateers We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer But Charlie was a weak one, a real worthless prick He threw up all the time 'cause the salt made 'em sick And when we were plundering a rich merchant ship He ran into hiding, trembling his lip But sea legs can grow on the weakest of lads It turned out some talent in fencing I had Once I grew fond of the pirate charade I'd be the first to dive into the fray We are Ye Banished Privateers We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared We are Ye Banished Privateers We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer We roamed all over the seven seas We plundered wherever there riches may be From ye coast of Tortuga to ye shores of Cape Horn We looted n' pillaged both poor and well born For each passing year an' each bottle of rum Had Charlie a more vicious pirate become One with the laddies so fearful and great He advanced to the rank of first mate We are Ye Banished Privateers We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared We are Ye Banished Privateers We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer But each thing so good, must come to an end And Charlie a letter from England was sent It turned that rascal was truly our king He returned from his exile during the spring I gave them my blessing to rove n' I said ""A yearly wager in gold you'll be paid But back home to England you cannot return For you are the scum of the Earth I have learned!"" We are Ye Banished Privateers We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared We are Ye Banished Privateers We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer We are Ye Banished Privateers We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared We are Ye Banished Privateers We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer We are Ye Banished Privateers We are King Charlie's rovers, we're sailors besmeared We are Ye Banished Privateers We'll be hanged by the neck if near England we steer!

I gave you another one a couple weeks ago. So your generosity funded FOUR bonus hours of Celtic music. So let me start by saying thanks. And I’ll stop there too.

I celebrated St. Patrick's day by creating and posting the attached image on my astro-photography flikr page (and my Instagram). Most of the image is made from a color-edited photo I took of the moon, centered on the "dog wearing sunglasses" face. Keep up the good work, helping people connect with Celtic culture!" Rachel Quill emailed a couple photos: "Dear Marc, Greetings from Georgia! just wanted to thank you for all you do! Your podcasts help encourage me to go on walks and stay in shape. I took the first pic while I was listening. The second picture is of a friend and I celebrating St.Patrick's a few days early."

Inspiration is a funny friend. It finds you and guides you. It takes you to strange and wonderful places. It introduces you to heroes. I started playing Celtic music in 1999... by accident. I had three "Celtic" songs in my song repertoire: "The Scotsman", "Irish Ballad" by Tom Lehrer, and an original Enya-esque song with nonsensical lyrics called "Lounging in La La Land". I was practicing on the South Mall at the University of Texas at Austin when red-haired gentleman asked if I'd like to perform at a Renaissance festival. As a Dungeons & Dragons nerd, I was so excited I asked my friend Andrew McKee to start a band with me. Soon the Brobdingnagian Bards found new Celtic music heroes and inspiration. For me, it was The Wolfe Tones, Christy Moore, The Irish Balladeers, and some random cassette that was called Irish Drinking Songs. That was my introduction to Celtic music. Those were my first Celtic music heroes. Later, I added Ed Miller, Serious Kitchen (featuring Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer), Dougie MacLean, The Elders, Gaelic Storm, Clandestine, and even Bing Crosby. So of course many of these you have heard on my podcasts. Who are your Celtic music heroes?

In that era i was listening to Fairport Convention and Sandy Denny, dave Swarbrick.. a couple of years back i made trip to Cropredy for Fairport festival and treked to Shetlands for a dose of their music... Celtic Stone is a favorite, especially “ an old man came in and sat down.” Fabulous piece.

Special thanks to our newest Patrons of the Podcast: Sean Mac Aodha, Kas, and our new Celtic Superstar, Hunter Melville. Years ago, a traditional Irish musician sat me down and told this autoharp-playing Renaissance festival musician what Celtic music really was. He gave me a list of popular trad musicians I should listen to. And I found some awesome bands in his list. That meeting was an important moment in my life. Because I did not see Celtic music the way he did. His definition narrowly defined traditional Irish music. For me, Celtic music is vast and growing. It encompasses the traditional songs and tunes as well as the contemporary arrangements that are more accessible to the average listener, like Celtic rock and even Celtic New Age. So when I started the Celtic Music Magazine and later the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. One of my goals was to share my definition of Celtic music as well as to help independent Celtic musicians. So this week I'm gonna share songs and tunes that I think will be a great intro to someone getting started with Celtic music. I picked some of my favorite bands and tunes. I got a little of input as well from my Patrons of the Podcast. Without my Patrons support this show would not have happened. This is in fact the first of two 2-hour shows that you get because we hit a big milestone on Patreon.

I really love irish & celtic music. I discovered your podcast through the celtic roots podcast with raymond in belfast northern ireland. It all started back 2011 when I was working in the desert, with lots of my irish workmates. I was inspired and got addicted to listening to celtic music. Best of luck to your program, I'm lookin forward to be one of your patron. Cheers" Ma-Ho-Ney posted on iTunes: "Great music, love the themes! I am making my own top music playlist based off of the songs I hear on the podcasts. I used the detailed podcast descriptions to identify the artist and songs and then get them from iTunes! A lot of great music, artists and free stuff! Worth subscribing, and not just around Saint Patrick's Day! Martha Meyers emailed a picture: "Boo for just making apps for the robot and the fruit.

A new season of Celtic Christmas music begins with new episodes of the podcast featuring Celtic Christmas songs and tunes from The Rogues, Wicked Tinkers, Haggis Rampant, Bonnie Rideout, Angus Mohr, Rathkeltair. www.celticchristmaspodcast.com It is time once again to launch my Celtic Christmas Podcast. This is a 30 minute show where I play Celtic Christmas music and share a little bit about the Celtic bands on the show. If you have a Celtic band and want to submit music, visit our website, and I'll tell you more at the end of the show. If you have a Celtic podcast and would like to share your Christmas show with my audience, please contact me at celticpodcast@gmail.com My two-hour Best Bagpipe Music special of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast was so popular earlier this month, I thought a show of Bagpipe Celtic Christmas music would be a great way to kick off the holiday season.   This Week’s Celtic Christmas Music "Hellbound Sleigh" by The Rogues from Hellbound Sleigh Founded in Houston in 1994, The Rogues created a new genre of Celtic music with exceptionally, well-played pipes and driving percussion. The band's sound ranges from traditional pipes and drums to innovative textures incorporating whistles, keyboard and guitar, as well as many percussion instruments. Always present in The Rogues' music is that spirit that endears them to their audience. From technical precision to soaring melodies, a Rogues album and performance will move you to tears and get you dancing immediately afterwards. "Coventry Carol" by Wicked Tinkers from Slainte Happy Holidays Pioneers of the growing Tribal Celtic movement, the Wicked Tinkers have been playing haunting, heart-pounding bagpipes and irresistible tribal drums as a professional touring band since 1995. With the addition, of the mesmerizing drone of the Australian didgeridoo and Bronze Age Irish horn, the magic was complete. Sit back and be transported to an earlier time in Scotland and Ireland, when battle cries filled the air and strange, unheard-of creatures roamed the night. Or better yet, get on your feet and let your body move to ancient rhythms and forgotten sounds. "Kirkin' the Midwinter" by Haggis Rampant from The Silver Glens The first stirrings of Haggis Rampant appeared in the fall of 2000 at the first annual Louisiana Renaissance Festival. Steve was feeding his renfest habit while looking for places to practice on his loud instrument. His wife Pam played her bodhran with Steve on the last day of the 2000 run, and, much to his chagrin, the show was a hit. The group was completed with the addition of their daughter Gillian a few years later. Gillian has shown a talent for writing exquisite harmonies on the bagpipes and the good-natured father/daughter competitiveness makes them a fun team to watch. "Christmas Carousing/Ale Is Dear/New Christmas" by Bonnie Rideout from A Scottish Christmas Bonnie Rideout is an award winning Scottish fiddler. Her CD, "A Scottish Christmas" became a New York Times “Top Ten Holiday Best Seller”. She celebrates Christmas with this enthusiastic holiday performance that she takes on the road each year, playing at performing arts centers and large theaters nationwide in November and December. Rideout performs along with the Scottish Christmas Ensemble - a group of internationally renowned musicians including the City of Washington Pipe Band and dancers from the Scottish Highlands! Rideout and crew perform with spirit and gusto. This performance features Eric Rigler on Scottish smallpipes. "I Saw Three Ships" by Angus Mohr & Friends from A Christmas Pageant Just as watery mist remakes the world, and whisky remakes the man, Angus Mohr revitalizes the brogue of traditional Celtic music with an American blues accent and rejuvenates rock ’n roll’s broad spectrum with bagpipe and pennywhistles. No one is ever going to mistake Angus Mohr for a cover band. Sure, they play songs like “Foggy Dew,” the 1916 Easter Rising ballad, and “Whisky in the Jar,” a sixteenth century tale of love and betrayal, and their set list is peppered with songs penned by Dylan, Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash, and the Ramones. But you’ve never heard “Ring of Fire” or “I Wanna Be Sedated” until you’ve heard it with the pipes’ spiraling keen. The 2008 album from Angus Mohr is a departure from their usual sound! This Christmas album features an eclectic mix of styles, including everything from medieval carols to Chuck Berry! "Carols on 45" by Rathkeltair from Something Good for Christmas Rathkeltair blends compelling and catchy original songs with tight, driving straight-ahead rock-n-roll, while never forgetting its Celtic roots. Based in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, Rathkeltair has been on the road full-time since 2003. Highly regarded for its extraordinary energy, showmanship and professionalism, Rathkeltair enjoys a loyal and rapidly expanding community of friends and fans. In 2011, they released their album "Something Good for Christmas". It features over 45 minutes of Christmas classics , Original songs and tunes done Rathkeltair style for the holiday season! --- If you're in a Celtic band and you have recorded Christmas music, then please submit through at www.4Celts.com.
