When We Were Brave now at ITunes

JaneW — Mon, 03 May 2010 15:46:33 +0000

The debut cd by Paddy Nash and the Happy Enchiladas, When we Were Brave, is now available at ITunes. This is a great cd by a great band and we want it to sell out quickly and send them packing back to the studio to create another one. It’s that good. It definitely leaves you wanting more. Click the icon below to go right to ITunes and download it. I have been trying all this while to decide which was my favorite song and I finally have — it’s Other Side of the World or maybe Barefoot in Verona or….guess I better listen some more……..get yourself a copy and help me decide.

Peat & Barley ~ Bio

CelticFawn — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:26:54 +0000

Like a fine Scotch whisky, Peat & Barley’s music is complex, inviting and always goes down smooth. The interplay between Bill Mitchell’s hammered dulcimer and Becky Ross’s fiddle – trading melody, rhythm and harmony – draws the listener into the ebb and flow of the music in a centering and refreshing way.

Widely-regarded for their stylish arrangements of traditional Celtic tunes, the duo have performed at various Celtic and Scottish festivals, and community concerts, as well as Mt. Vernon and the Smithsonian. They frequently are hired for weddings and private parties and also play at restaurants and wineries. They continue to delight listenersÂ with their new CD release, Silver Lining, an engaging mix of traditional Scottish and Irish tunes.

Bill is a self-taught player and was inspired to play after his first experience of hearing a hammered dulcimer. He is particularly noted for his strong accompaniment skills that incorporate the full range of his hammered dulcimer from the shimmering sparkle of the highest treble notes to the depth and power of the lowest bass notes. He is also a composer of tunes in the Celtic style. Several of his pieces are included on each of Peat & Barley’s CD recordings.

Becky was classically trained on violin as a child and began playing again after discovering Celtic fiddle music. She is known for the rich tone of her playing and her sensitive emotional connection to the music, whether that is a sorrowful Scottish lament, a majestic march or a driving reel. She is a long-time Board Member and Treasurer of Potomac Valley Scottish Fiddle Club, a nonprofit group promoting Scottish fiddle music. Becky also plays regularly for Scottish and English country dancing and teaches Scottish fiddle lessons.

For a sample of their music, their CD’s are available at CDBaby.

A New Tradition by Peter Purvis

JaneW — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:26:13 +0000

I just got my hands on this, highly acclaimed second CD by Peter Purvis. I have to say if you think you know what pipes sound like, trust me you don’t. The music on the cd will absolutely take your breath away! I have not yet decided what my favorite cut is but I will be listening to this for many hours to come just to find out.

For those who are unfamiliar with Peter, he is a musician from Canada who grew up surrounded by Celtic music and influences. On this cd he plays highland pipes, Uilleann pipes and Irish whistle all blended beautifully with more contemporary guitar, piano and drums. He is currently also a member of Gaelic Storm where he plays pipes and takes all the good natured ribbing tossed at him in stride.

This cd is on sale now as a cd or mp3 album at cdbaby

Song List

Roaring Ray
Deadwood
Steam Train to Mallaig
Gaelic Reel
The Unknown
The Sweetness
Hector the Hero
Cape Breton Set
Rascals
Trailer Park Piano

His first cd is also on sale there which is a bit more traditional pipe music and is also outstanding.

Check out his website http://www.peterpurvis.com/Site/Welcome.html and his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/peterpurvis

Paul Byrom – I’ll Be Home For Christmas

CelticFawn — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:27:09 +0000

With Christmas just on the horizon, I felt this would be a great time to do a review of my new favorite Christmas CD. After years of listening to the sounds of Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, I broke down and bought the I’ll Be Home For Christmas CD by Paul Byrom. All I can say is WOW! I love it! He does a nice blend of the classic favorites along with some new songs like The River. One of the highlights of the CD is the duet of Silent Night. The guest singer is none other than Paul himself as a boy soprano… it’s amazing! I highly recommend this CD… I’m sure it will become one of your all time favorites too.

Song List

The Christmas Song
Let It Snow
The River
I’ll Be Home For Christmas
Happy Holiday
The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot
Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
A Winters Tale
O Holy Night
Saviour’s Day
Silent Night (Duet with Paul Byrom as boy soprano)
Bonus Track – The Christmas Medley

You can purchase this CD at CDBaby

Paul’s first album Velvet is also still on sale.
