CELTIC BAND FEATURE #1
=========================

"Popcorn Behavior" by Fromseier Rose

Modern acoustic music for violin and piano, based in the Celtic
tradition.

Fromseier Rose grew out of a late night session at the 2001
Copenhagen Irish Festival. Ditte launched into a lively version
of Kitchen Girl and Michael joined in on the piano. It was the
first time they played together and their chemistry was evident
in the music. By the end of the tune it was obvious that they had
to play together and a short while later they formed the duo
Contradiction. To avoid too many similarities with a German
thrash metal band with the same name, they have since changed
their name to Fromseier Rose.

Fromseier Rose play elegant roots music with a repertiore that
combines their own compositions with contemporary and traditional
Celtic and Scandinavia tunes. Their unique arrangements display
a rich variety of musical sources. Ditte's full sound and
rhythmic bounce is complemented by the swinging pulse from
Michael's New England roots and his jazz influenced interpretations.
The result is a swinging and playful conversation between two
talented musicians that appeals to a broad range of audiences.

Hometown: Copenhagen, Denmark

CELTIC CD FEATURE
=========================

"New York Town" by Black 47

Black 47 really makes me adore Celtic music!

I'm listening to their latest CD, New York Town. It's tearing
at my heart strings. I don't know whether I should smile and
rock on with Black 47's amazing style of Celtic Rock that fuses
traditional Irish instrumentation with horns and the hipper
sounds of rock music, or should cry from the troubles endured
by Irish immigrants to the United States.

I am doing both, because New York Town might not sound like
trad Irish music with a drum set and horns, but it captures
the Irish American mentality better than 90% of the contemporary
Celtic albums I've heard.
