Music source

Achbar — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 04:41:00 GMT

My love of Celtic music began in the mid 80s. There was a show called the Thistle and Shamrock adn I suppose that show is still on the air on NPR. Where can I find Celtic music on CDs?

something new...& a bit different...

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:53:34 GMT

Hello~

I am an Electronic Music producer with a background in Psychedelic Trance & a full blooded Irish lineage,and subsequently, a lifelong bone-deep love for Celtic/Irish folk music...so, recently I began a new project with a specific focus on fusing these 2 very distinct genres with some other World Music elements after I finished a year of school for Audio Engineering. I have just recently begun sharing these new tracks with people in hopes of getting some honest feedback & hopefully helping with the creative process...so, if you folks wouldn't mind taking a little time to check them out & maybe let me know what you think, I would be MOST appreciative...here's the link to my Myspace page...just let the page load up & the songs will start playing on their own:

from their website:
Our new CD, The Western Shore, will be released for national distribution later this year but we'll be selling it at this concert so you can get a sneak preview of why we're so excited about it. Moira Smiley will be with us for this one and we've also recruited master percussionist Brian Rice to come along and add his considerable talents to the evening.

St. Patrick's Day '08 gigs!

cid — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 05:35:05 GMT

Just curious... What gigs are folks doing on St. Patrick's Day? If you've been wanting to do a shameless plug, but have been too full of shame to post one, now's your chance... No shame is involved because this plug was solicited...

I'm sure you're all saying to yourself, "Wow, self, a solicited plug! We've never been asked for one of those before so I don't know how we should respond... Any suggestions, Cid?"

Why, yes, and I'm glad you asked! As an example, I would offer something like this:

"Hi, I'm Cid of Jingly Bits and this St. Patrick's Day, Monday, March 17th, Jingly Bits will be giving our Farewell To California performance! Yes, at O'Flaherty's Irish Pub in downtown San Jose from 6 until at least 8 pm, we'll be giving it our all for the last time in California as we're "semi-retiring" and relocating back east. We hope to continue with our music there and maybe in a few years, you'll be able to catch us on the West Coast leg of our Unretirement Tour, but for now, this is it! We'd be delighted and honored if you could come on down, have an ale and a song or two and see us off!"

See? The plug's not that shameful when someone's asking for it... So...

What shows am I missing because of doing my own?

Cheers!
cid

Scottish Renaissance Festival of Santa Cruz

Michael — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:04:00 GMT

I'm looking for some musical entertainment for this year's festival. We were formerly the Dragon Slayers Ren Fest but had a name, location, and beneficiary change in 2008. This is a benefit event event for the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz County and held at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 14th.

If you, or someone you know is interested in performing, please contact me. Obviously, the them is Scottish Renaissance. All of our music is acoustic and we have three of four "collection" areas to provide a more intimate interaction with your audience. We'll also be cycling music on the stages between other acts.

Bodhran drumhead replacements

Ellen — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 16:13:17 GMT

I have had a horrible time keeping a skin on my bodhrans. True, I do abuse the heck out of them because we do about twenty renfaires a year and play in all kinds of weather! I have two that need new heads now. One was played only twice before the head started ripping through the tacks.
So I am wondering...
which skin thickness should I try? (thin, medium, or thick)
should I try something other than goat skins?
do the replacement heads, with a silver band, work on a bodhran that had a tacked head before?
should I try a synthetic head?

I have three inexpensive, non tunable bodhrans...I can't afford a new one that might be tunable...also tunables are so heavy and my arm already gets sore, holding the light weight ones I have.

Hope some out there can share some advise on this topic!
thanks in advance

"Concerts by the Sea," as part of the Pacifica Performances Concert series

WHEN: Saturday, April 21, 2007. 7:30 PM
(doors open at 7 PM).

1220 A Linda Mar
Boulevard; Pacifica, CA 94044.

seniors: $15.

TO PURCHASE ADVANCE TICKETS:
visit http://www.pacificaperformances.org/
or call 650-355-1882.

*******************************

Triskela -- a vibrant neo-Celtic harp trio -- weaves a sophisticated tapestry of melodic intricacies with their original works and fresh interpetations of traditional Irish and Scottish folk music. From lively dance tunes, to hearfelt ballads and stirring airs. Triskela members
Diana Stork, Shawna Spiteri and Portia Diwa will take you on a musical trip through the pastoral British Isles and beyond. The stirring beauty of the harp is complimented by sweet, lyrical vocals, flute, whistle and traditional Irish drum along with guest musicians Peter Kasin on fiddle, Teed Rockwell on percussion, and dancer Eileen Danz for this special Pacifica Performances debut!

*******************************************

ABOUT THE TRIO:

Triskela has been performing together since 1997 playing an eclectic mix of traditional Celtic music, as well as Medieval, Renaissance, Latin and original works. Like the ancient, three-branched symbol the group is named after (the triskele), members Portia Diwa, Shawna Spiteri and Diana Stork find inspiration in performing together and presenting their unique arrangements of traditional and contemporary music to audiences at such venues as Grace Cathedral and Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco, and the Festival of Harps in Rohnert Park.

Music identification

Fri, 09 Feb 2007 21:18:11 GMT

Although I've listened to and enjoyed celtic music since I was a child (the Coeur d'Alene Pipe & Drum competition was an annual excursion) I haven't figured out how to differentiate a slip jig from a light jig, a hornpipe, etc. Has anyone got any suggestions? A good web page to help or other resource? I'd like to be able to hear something "in the wild" and be able to identify it by ear rather than scrambling to find the CD.

sadly though, i'm getting tired of singing the same ones over and over
and i don't know where to go to learn more.

even though i can read a little bit of music,
i can't seem to get a melody line down right with my voice without hearing it sung first.

does anybody know any good bands or cd's that cover alot of old ballads?
i would love some new leads.

Celtic Lyre questions/help needed

Nettie-Sionaid — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 18:40:36 GMT

Greetings, All -
I received a lyre for Yule this year & am having trouble with tuning it... The tuning pins are not marked as to note - hence, I am in a quandry over tuning. It's a 16-string lyre - and having had many upon many years of vocal instruction, I *thought* the 16-note chromatic scale for vocalists might work. It didn't. My husband found a harp tuning website, but as the tuning pins aren't color-coded on my lyre, the color coding on the website isn't very helpful. What I really need is someone with the knowledge of what the note scale on a lyre is - if I have the notes on paper [a diagram], I can figure it out from there I think. I've had no luck websearching/googling.
Help, please?

Thank you -

What makes Celtic music sound like Celtic music?

ForeRunner — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 03:19:41 GMT

I've always been kind of curious about what makes certain genres of music sound like what they are, if that makes any sense. I'd like to take a hand at writing songs again -- it has been years and my early attempts have all sounded very plain vanilla folk.

I'm not particularly musically knowledgeable -- my theory is pretty limited to knowing about I, IV, V and the circle of fifths.

So, short of borrowing someone else's melody, what makes Celtic music sound like Celtic music?
Is it more to do with the lyrics?
Is it the modal nature of the traditional music (I think that's what you'd call it, right? -- Aolian, Dorian, etc?)
But if it is, what makes "American Irish" sound Irish? All the whisky?

Seriously, I'd be interested to hear opinions, ideas, suggestions, and if there's any links to info on the musical structure of the Celtic genre, I'd love to be pointed in the right direction.

Cheers!

Cost: FREE

Dram, Swedish Harp & woodwind duo: 6-7pm

Swedish and medieval bagpipes provide the endless drone -- or dram -- from which the group gets its name.

Triskela Celtic Harp Trio -- Diana Stork, Portia Diwa & Shawna Spiteri (harp & vocals) -- play stunning original compositions, fresh arrangements of traditional Irish and Scottish tunes, plus music from around the world. They have been featured at the prestigious Festival of Harp Concert Series, the Bing Music Series at Stanford, SF City Hall and Yerba Buena Gardens.

Batjay — Sat, 07 Oct 2006 13:47:27 GMT

For all of you mySpacers out there, Wicked Tinkers have just posted a free mp3 of a live performance of The Toasty Set. Their myspace page is http://www.myspace.com/wickedtinkersmusic
To quote the band's bio:

The power and emotion of the Great Highland Bagpipe

Tribal drums, fierce and joyous

The mystical rhythms of the Australian didgeridoo and

The ancient call of the Bronze-Age Irish Horn

Wicked Tinkers are a Celtic Tribal Sound Explosion!

For those who ~quite reasonably~ do not use myspace, you can also download the tune at my own website http://jayatwood.com/music.html

We'd love your feedback. And if you *really* like it, and wish to support the musicians, please check out our web page http://www.wickedtinkers.com or download more tracks at iTunes!

Peace!

New (noisy) Celtic music tribe forming

rayprice — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 22:36:37 GMT

Trouz Bras is forming a tribe

It's pronounced "TRUE BRAZZ" and it means "Great Sound" or "Big Noise" (I guess that it could also mean "Great Noise" or "Big Sound") in the Celtic language of Brittany which now finds itself in the North West corner of contemporary France. Only you can decide which name is most appropriate.

We've been making a noise since April 2005.

They don't called us Big Noise for nothing. We're the only band in North America to perform the dance music of Brittany. Catapulting traditional Breton dance tunes into the 21st century, we combine swirling bagpipes and soaring fiddle with a rocking rhythm section

Come and join the tribe!

calling all Celtic/Irish flute and/or whistle players :)

Fri, 21 Jul 2006 20:31:16 GMT

Anyone else out there play Irish flute?

What type(s) of flutes (& whistles if you play them) do you play, & if you have more than one, why do you like certain ones over others or for different styles, etc.?

I'd love to hear from more Irish flute players out there!

I'm an Irish & Boehm-system flute player (whistles too!) living in Asheville, NC. I'm in the market for a new Irish flute, & I'll soon be trying out some flutes by Terry McGee from The Irish Flute Store.

What did you do music-wise, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

SilverUnicorn — Sat, 18 Mar 2006 09:34:47 GMT

Didn't get to do anything on the actual day itself, but on the night before - March 16th - I went and saw The Black Brothers (-Michael, Martin & Shay-) at The Freight & Salvage in Berkeley. ( http://thefreight.org/2006/0603-march/info_060316.html ) It was a terrific show (-as always-), with much sing-a-long and some Irish Dancers. (4 of the dancers are their own little girls! ) Unfortunately, I can't recall the name of the group the other Irish Dancers were from. It was a blast.

We were going to a friend's house for corned beef and cabbage tonight, but it had to be post-poned until Sunday.

So, how did you folks celebrate? I especially want to know what you did music-wise.

Cailin Rua ?

Jeannie — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 18:40:13 GMT

Has anyone here heard of a band called 'Cailin Rua' ?
They were from Northern California and I saw a performance many years ago.

(Maire McCurley was the singer and has an amazing voice) I picked up their album 'Bad Penny' and unfortunately I lent it out. It seems to be lost for good. I would love to find a replacement but haven't seen it on Amazon - is there a good outlet to find more obscure Celtic CD's??

Thanks,

Way cool!
My sympathies go out to Craig Ferguson on the passing of his father. However, it was wonderful to see the Tinkers on television!

It was cool to see you performing Jay. Is Craig really as nice a guy as he appears to be?

Was your performing on the show a last second sort of thing? I don't see it listed on your performance schedule, is why I ask.

I think it was wonderful that you guys let him join you for the second number. Is that why your band was chosen, or just lucky choice?

Looking for opener, 3/17 Santa Ana CA Galaxy Theatre

boggard_lurch — Tue, 31 Jan 2006 17:02:14 GMT

Hi!

I'm from the Poxy Boggards, and we're currently looking for an opener for our show on St. Patrick's Day at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana.

We're folk/modern with an emphasis towards drinking songs, and obviously due to the date a certain emphasis of the Irish contingent of our set. We're also using the show as our CD release event for our latest more-or-less completely Trad CD, "Whiskey Business".

Openers will be required to sell tickets. It's not true "pay to play", as there's no financial penalties or fees beyond the sales - the Galaxy usually expects openers to sell around 50 - 100.

If you're interested, please contact us at bogsheet@poxyboggards.com, and mention that you're interested in information about opening in the subject line.

Thank you!

I prefer seeing them at the Holloywood HOB as apposed to the Anehiem HOB because it seams to be a way better croud. Anehiem seems to attract all the overly agressive punk rockers who wanna figtht/ slam dance to silence, let alone any song. Maybe Anehiem just allows violence more than Hollywood. I'm to old for that shit. Just want to see the band.

I'd like to begin Celtic Folk Dancing. (in the SCA style/times) I always see a ton of European dancing and would just like to see some more Celtic. so here are a couple things I was wondering about....

1. What are the best Celtic Dances?
2. What music do you use for those dances?(Song title/ Artist?)
3. Is there Teachable steps/ instructions somewhere on the internet? if not, where? If so...where?
4. Is there a Tribe group that discusses this very topic? If so...may I have the direct link?

The Only Book About Loreena McKennitt

Niema — Tue, 14 Jun 2005 19:24:50 GMT

I just wrote a book called "Travels With Loreena McKennitt - My Life as a Friend”. According to one London journalist, "It's not only a must for every Loreena McKennitt fan but for anyone interested in the phenomenon of "Celebrity"”. The book is a behind-the-scenes look into the world of stardom and the consequences of fame. It is a gripping tale focusing on the relationship of two close friends and the impact on the friendship when one rockets to superstardom.

Many of you know Loreena through her music and her concert appearances. My book is about Loreena behind the footlights, about Loreena not only as a talented and famous musician but as a real human being.

For more information about me, my books and how to order signed and dedicated copies, please visit my website at http://www.niemaash.com or email me at purpleinc@fastmail.fm.

Jesse — Tue, 07 Jun 2005 03:14:14 GMT

I guess Solas has a new album out, "Waiting for an Echo", anyone know anything about it? It's not even mentioned on www.solasmusic.com. It's probably pointless to think that they'll reverse the trend of the last few albums, but hey, hope is still free.
