Art Ceilidh

You never thought vodka would give you the Celtic spirit did you?

When it comes to Celtic sounds, I for one think of, Ireland, Scotland and at a pinch Wales. Put your hand up if you read 'Celtic sounds' and thought Russia, or more to the point, Moscow, I bet you didn't!

Let me introduce 'Art Ceilidh' a folk rock band I stumbled upon while have one of my rants on Twitter.It's not like me but I followed a link (http://www.reverbnation.com/) and received an ear full of a track called "The Last Thing She Said". They produce what I can only sum up as an amazing sound. A bit more poking around and I found tracks on You Tube and My Space. So far my 'fave rave' is "Family Treasure", a better waltz I have not heard in a long time! Super flute playing and accordion too. No tenor banjo but I'm sure they will find me one day! The leader seems to be a guy named Mikhail Smirnov but when I get my hands on full details I will let you know.

Transatlantic Sessions........

Sorry, I'm a bit late with this news but I think Christmas and new year made the tv times go all to pot. Never mind, we get our weekly fix of all things folkie tonight with a 'Transatlantic Session' on BBC4 at 8.30pm.

 

We have Paul Brady with his song 'Rainbow', Eddy Reader and Karen Matheson join in too!
