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 →

Spotlight on Celtic Music: Poitin

Posted on by

Band Name: Poitin Hometown: Plzen, Czech Republic If you’re online and haven’t heard of Poitin, I don’t know where you’ve been. Poitin is one of the hottest indie Celtic bands I found online.

Review: “The Bright Shining Clear” by The Rambling Sailors

Rambling Sailors is a folk duo who have a musical passion for the mariner life.  They have combined traditional Celtic songs of the sea and some new tunes that flow together so well it is difficult to discern which is which. Gregg & Susan Csikos have been very active with their music individually and have now come together to share that experience in these ballads and tales of the seas.  Susan actually spent time on the Schooner ships in Maine performing her songs.  Gregg  has over a decade of Ren Faire accomplishments stretching … Continue reading →

“Celtic Christmas” by Katie McMahon

Angelic sounds come forth from this Christmas CD. That’s because Katie McMahon is the singer. Well-known for her soprano solo on the Riverdance single, this is a woman with a gentle, bright voice that lends itself perfectly to Christmas music. The very first track here, “In the Bleak Mid-Winter” is a sweet holiday tune that sets the mood for the album. Tracks like “Christmas Pipes” insure you won’t forget that this is a Celtic CD. Truthfully, the sound is woven … Continue reading →

Review: “Mist Covered Mountains” by Barrowburn

Posted on by

Barrowburn has a smooth speed in their music that beacons to listen to more of their style. And with their style you also get great a cappellas that are compelling to any soul. You’ll find hearty, traditional Celtic songs played with an American twist that only Barrowburn can bring. The flute and fiddle have a special place in my heart (just below the pipes), and Barrowburn displays some of the best that I’ve heard in a while. Virgil Sealy and … Continue reading →

“On The Move” by Colin Farrell

This Contemporary Folk CD has certainly been blessed by the Muses.  Colin has managed to instrumentally create such a weave of traditional  music with enough modern flair to bring about an unexpected sense of  spiritual happiness.  Examples would be, ”Garageband Reels, Joe’s House & The Old Rogue”. “Sheelin Side“  a warm composition , even with horns, starts the tour of delight to the ears. “Soho South”  is  a 21st century ”Feelin Groovy” sort of song, an Irish  tropical island blend one might say. “Bridge Street”  is beautiful in composition,  allowing … Continue reading →
