On a Celtic Tip(ple) I just found this wee selection of Scottish,Irish and Galician (ie Celtic),Ballads and Airs,Jigs n Reels that i used to pass around Irish bars in Spain (it was always worth a free stout or 2 :).It features the melifluous and spine tinglingly angelic voice of Karol Matheson,The majestic Chieftains,Godfathers of Folk music and Bob Dylans best pals;The Clancy Brothers(they taught Bob D how it was done in Greenwich Village NYC in the 60s),the inimitable High Priests of the Scottish Celtic music scene (& of course collaborators of The 13th Tribe) ;The McCluskey Brothers,The raucous,sublime and poetic, Pogues and also The Ard Ri's (High Kings) of Irish Folk Music;The Dubliners.Loud and Proud they all gather round the still, simmering a lethal poitin brew with some well known tunes and some not so well known,kinda suits this time of yr.Hope u dig.Athbhliain faoi mhaise dhuit.
Slan wa.
