1. Celtic Music News
=================================================

"I found your site, Celtic MP3's.com, while looking for a source of
Celtic music online. I am a writer (aka Amy Busby) and most of my
stories involve Scotland or Ireland in one way or another. I have
found it easier to write if I am listening to celtic music and your
site has been a great help!"
-Amy Shultz, Arizona

2002 nears a close and it's been a fantastic year. I'm especially
excited since I get to visit my ma in Italy. Yeah, I wish it was
Ireland, but I do adore Italy, and I'm slowly learning more and
more about the Celtic world in Italy. No doubt there
communities just as thriving throughout the world too. In any
case, I'm hoping to share my love Celtic folk songs with the
Italians in the Veneto. Drop by http://www.thebards.net/ for
news about wear I will perform.

You will also note that I am now publishing the zine online. You can
read it from the link above. I'm hoping to earn ever more traffic by
doing so. But it's your referrals that help the most. So please add a
link to http://www.celticmp3s.com/. Thanks!

2. John McLean Allan - "Star of the County Down"
http://www.mp3.com/JohnMcLeanAllan?cm
http://www.bagpipetamer.com/
=================================================

"Stand Easy" is John Allan's latest Celtic Rock record featuring
world class musicians who have played with The Chieftains,
Korn, Joe Cocker, and the LA Scots Pipe Band.  It Contains
traditional and Contemporary songs featuring vocals, bagpipes,
whistle, mandolin, electric guitars, bass and drums.

"Star of the County Down" is by far one of the best versions
I've heard of this song in a long while. It's rocked up with a
pop/rock sound and very distinctive accented vocals. And it's
just one of great tracks including, a stellar version of
"Amazing Grace" and "Back Home in Derry".

4. Aidan Crossey - "Benedict's Rambles, Bill Hart's"
http://mp3.com/Aidan_Crossey
http://www.paythereckoning.com/
=================================================

Originally hailing from County Armagh, Aidan now lives in
South East London. For the past few years he's devoted his
musical energies to navigating the mandolin (and related
instruments). Editor-in-chief of the Irish music webzine "Pay
The Reckoning", Aidan has made over 100 of his original
tunes (jigs, reels, hornpipes, etc.) available to the Irish music
community in a free document on his homepage.

This set kicks off with a jig composed by Aidan in honour
of his son, Benedict, who was 6 months old at the time the
tune was written. Then Aidan gives us that sprightly session
favourite, Bill Hart's. Performed on mandolin with a light
backing guitar, both tunes are well-played and a delight to
listen to.

I have just had the chance to look more in depth to this
wonderful contributor to the world of Celtic music. And from
what I see so far, the only disappointing thing about his music
it's difficult to order which I hope time will correct.
