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

Well, we've done a few issues of traditional, so not lets take a
couple issues and listen to some of the latest and greatest
contemporary Celtic that's going around. This week, Carbon Leaf
and Steve MacDonald.

Oh, and those interested, I've made all my music fully downloadable
on my own website. So if you would like to download, head over to
http://mp3.com/marcgunn?cm . I took down my new CD "Soul of a
Harper" to fix a couple problems, but it should be back up and
purchase-able next week.

Meantime, remember to help out the musicians who've graciously
donated their music by purchasing a CD benefitting the Austin
Celtic Association, called "Coventina's Well". Buy it at
http://www.celticmusic.org/Coventinas_Well.shtml


Station suggestion of the week:

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

"The Boxer" by Carbon Leaf
http://www.mp3.com/CarbonLeaf?cm

High-energy electric, acoustic, Mandolin Rock with hints of
bluegrass, Celtic, jazz and groove. Started in Richmond, VA
in 1994. Carbon Leaf has released five full-length, independent,
critically-acclaimed CDs while constantly touring Mid-Atlantic
clubs and colleges.

Carbon Leaf has been on MP3.com for a long while, and they do a
brilliant job of combining a contemporary Alt Rock musical style
with some Celtic riffs as seen in this song, "The Boxer".

"On Fire [Live]" by Black 47
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005OKSQ/thebards?ref=nosim

Black 47 came together in 1989 playing a benefit concert for a
political activist. During the set, someone in the audience shouted
to them to play something Irish. Singer and frontman, Larry Kirwan,
told the man he was Irish and shut up and listen. Since then Black
47 has been at the forefront of Celtic scene as one of the most
controversial bands around and the biggest secret in great Celtic
rock, recording eight albums combining an eclectic mix of rock,
reggae, hip-hop and downtown noise fused with Irish traditional
music.

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

"Flodden Field" by Steve McDonald
http://ethereanmusic.com/modules/catalog/product_info.php?
products_id=97

The Battle of Flodden September 9th 1513. On of the bloodiest
battles in Scotland's history which saw five to ten thousand Scots
killed including 12 Earls, 15 Lords, many Clan Chiefs, an
archbishop and the King of Scotland himself James IV. Such a
disaster was this battle that the Scots did not recover from it for
another thirty years.

5. Featured Celtic Music Website
=========================

Heart o' Scotland
http://www.celticmp3s.com/cgi-bin/celtic_music/jump.cgi?ID=527

Heart o' Scotland grew originally out of an interest in our
Scottish ancestry and our love of books. It's grown to include
just about anything connected with Scotland - including malt
whisky (which we don't even drink!).

Basic information and resources on topics ranging from the
lives of Wallace and Bruce to crafting Celtic knotwork or raising
a West Highland White Terrier. Entertaining articles on Scottish
history and culture, Celtic religion and mythology, famous Scots,
more.
