Music Recommendations?

[RogerWS76]

I am particularly fond of the Celtic Rock Band "Tempest"

There is also "Albannach" They have 3 or 4 cds out now. They play every year at the Pleasanton California Games.

[Cecil]

Albannach are the best. I have seen them four different times here in Florida.

My suggestions will be a bit dated... many of my favourite groups are from the 80's and even 70s...

They are traditional groups, not rock

Scottish:

Tannahill Weavers
Old Blind Dogs
Kentigern (this is an obscure Scottish band from around 1980... probably hard to find)

Irish:

De Danann
The Bothy Band
Danu
Altan

You can get on Pandora and find all kinds of stuff

I love the Killdares out of Dallas.

I like Gaelic Storm a lot too.

[Meggers]

There is also "Albannach" They have 3 or 4 cds out now. They play every year at the Pleasanton California Games.

I love these guys. Listening to them is like listening to the soundtrack of Scottish war movies.

I feel like I used to know a ton of Celtic bands. I cant seem to remember them right now.

[Blupiper]

For piping, I like the Red Hot Chili Pipers and The Wicked Tinkers. If you can find them, check out Barleyjuice and the Tim Malloys. Dropkick Murphys always good for a bit of 'oi' like Flogging Molly and the Real MacKenzies. See also An Dochas, the Mudmen and Great Big Sea.

Thanks for all the band names and recommendations!!!, I think I will have a lot of research this weekend.

BTW, what´s Pandora??

[CMcG]

Celtic Rock:
Tartan Terrors
The Mahones

You should also check out the McDades (LINK). Their roots are in Celtic music, but they also bring in influences from a lot of other areas, such as country, jazz, classical, and world music.
