LOREENA McKENNITT
Nights from the Alhambra
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000SO7OMA/thebards

Her best loved songs captured live in concert on a 3 DISC SET
including 1 DVD and 2 CDS! Originally aired in March 2007 on
PBS Great Performances, this enchanting musical performance
set in the heart of Spain, captures the rich hues of Loreena
McKennitt's catalog from Celtic ballads and literary narratives
to highlights from her latest CD, An Ancient Muse

CELTIC MUSIC NEWS
=========================

Greetings Celtic Music Lovers,

I am in Louisiana right. My band, the Brobdingnagian Bards, are
performing at a festival here so I've been a little slow at getting
this newsletter out. But it is here at last! Thank you for
subscribing and for telling your friends.

Oh! And I am heading to Germany in December. So with any luck
I may have a gig or two or at the very least meet some Celtic
musicians while I'm there.


NEW SEARCH ENGINE AT THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST
I had a recent request to add a search engine to the Irish
& Celtic Music Podcast. So it is now up. You can search the
website for bands you heard and listen to them in each
show. Check it out at http://www.celticmusicpodcast.com/


CELTIC CHRISTMAS MUSIC
Christmas is just around the corner, and I am getting CDs and
emails about new Celtic Christmas albums. So I bought a new
domain to highlight those CDs. It's at
http://www.celticchristmasmusic.net/

Right now, it links to an old Celtic Christmas page. But if
you have any suggestions for CDs that should go on the site,
please email me.

Also, I am looking for Celtic Christmas music for a special
edition of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. If you know of an
Independent Celtic group with Christmas music, ask them to
submit at http://www.celticmp3s.com/submit/ .


BROBDINGNAGIAN BARDS 2008 VACATION TOUR OF IRELAND
Booking for our 2008 tour to Ireland is currently underway. Don't
miss out on this great trip where you will experience Kerry.

Think of Kerry, you may think of Ring Of Kerry, but we are
travelling through the Bearra Peninsula, the most beautiful
peninsula in Ireland. We will visit 5000 year old stone circles
in mountain and waterfall valleys and travel down the beautiful
spiralling Healy Pass that famine refugess built to reach food.
