1. Celtic Music News

2. Celtic Music Band Feature #1
=========================

"Karley's Edge Medley" by Fiddlers 3
http://www.mp3.com/fiddlers3ca?cm
MP3: http://www3.sympatico.ca/fiddlers3/store2.htm

Party Rocking grooves and Heavy Downbeats, traditional Celtic-Folk
tunes Canadian style will Jump-Start the Atmosphere. Blending
tradition, Celtic, Old-Tyme, and folk music together, Fiddlers 3
create the impeccable sound that uplifts audiences to a frenzy.
Consisting of 3 fiddlers, and accordionist, and a one-of-a-kind
percussionist, this family group's sound is inimitable.

The Ultimate Party tune, you'll have a tough time keeping your
feet still with this tune from their new album, "Encore".
The songs I've heard from this album is fantastic, so keep your
ears open for this band.

4. Celtic Music Band Feature #2
=========================

"Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye" by Jonathan Ramsey
http://mp3.com/JonathanRamsey?cm
http://www.jonathanramsey.com/

Jonathan Ramsey is known for his highly energetic stage presence
and audience interaction. His loyal fans find him regularly at
festivals and in pubs, coffeehouses, schools, and bookstores.
Backed by his own rich guitar and percussion style, Jonathan
sings everything from tender love songs to murder ballads and
rebel songs. Jonathan always delivers a show that's enjoyed by
Irish music lovers, as well as those new to Irish music.

Jonathan has a new self-titled debut album that I'm looking forward
to hearing. I've heard a couple songs already like this one. One of
the great things about Jonathan Ramsey is that he's also a fantastic
historian as well as great musician and entertainer. Here's what he
has to say about this song: "A parody of an American war song -
written by an Irish/American using a French penname. Beat that! To
keep it from being gloomy, kick it out with a jig, to be sure."
