Review: “Bofiguifluki” by Poitin

Celtic Radio named this CD as “Album of the Year” in 2010 and it’s easy to see why once you give it a listen. The album stomps right out of the gate with the first track, Emily, and the ride from there includes many great tracks such as “Four Drunken Maidens”, “Blue Chinese Lantern” and “Next Market Day”. With 15 songs in all, this traditional Celtic music collection is a pleasure to listen to. I was curious about the name … Continue reading →

Posted on by

Long ago, in a dark period of human history, St. Patrick’s Day was not celebrated at all.  Soon small gatherings grew into large ones.  Large ones turned into parades.  Parties coursed through civilizations around the globe.  Now you can find St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in every nook and cranny of our world.

Who Are the Most-Accessible Celtic Musicians?

  One of the great things about indie Celtic music that no one really talks about is the approachability of the Celtic artists.  If you go to pop rock show, it’s highly unlikely that you will ever meet the lead singer face-to-face.  You’ll be lucky if you meet the drummer who was only hired to fill in for one gig. In the Celtic music world, it is completely different.  Many times the only way you will not meet the artist … Continue reading →
