The Iron Horse - Demons & Lovers (1996) @320Kbps

2009-10-05T15:59:00.000+08:00

...a nice catchy album which is still on the traditional side of the Celtic landscape. It starts with a powerful instrumental set, three great tunes delivered by the wonderful fiddling of Gavin Marwick and the ever-improving piping of Annie Grace. The wailing 2-minute introduction gives you time to sit down, pour a dram, relax, put the cat out, sit down again, relax again, and take a sip or two...."Demons & Lovers" holds the attention pretty well: plenty of great tunes from the pens of various band members, and some well-turned arrangements of traditional songs.

The Iron Horse - Five Hands High (1994) @320Kbps

2009-10-05T15:57:00.001+08:00

The press release for this album claims it is "certain to consolidate The Iron Horse's position at the forefront of the Scottish roots scene", and I think they might be right. "Five Hands High" is definitely a step forward from the previous two Iron Horse releases: the band has matured, the line-up is unchanged from the last album, and this is altogether a more professional piece of work.

This album gives a very good idea of what The Iron Horse is like, whether on stage, on disc or in a pub: lots of driving instrumental sets, plenty of virtuoso strings, good harmonies and a balanced mix of new and traditional material. If you're looking for slow, haunting pieces, forget it - this band rarely slows the pace to less than a brisk trot. However, there are several fast haunting tracks: "A' Bhean Iadaich", "The Heiress" and "Northern Cross Rising" among them.

The album is roughly evenly split between songs and instrumentals, but I was pleased that the instrumentals still took the lion's share: this is definitely where the band's greatest strengths lie, with the brilliant fiddling of Gavin Narwick and whistling of Annie Grace backed by equally accomplished strings, keyboards and percussion. Annie's piping features strongly on this album, on both highland and small pipes, and it is much improved from the last album. I felt the small pipes were a bit overdone in places, such as in "The Lowlands of Holland", but that's just my personal preference for the big pipes.

Iron Horse lost a singer and gained a drummer between the first and second albums, and the singing on the last album was, perhaps, a little shaky as a result. However, this new release has rock-solid vocals throughout, with the two female voices blending and harmonising very nicely. I did find some of the words a bit hard to make out, but the lyrics are written out in full. Contrary to my claim above, there are three slowish songs on the album, but I preferred the faster ones!

The "percussionist" has also come into his own on this album: the multitude of things being hit and shaken gives a consistent strong beat behind songs and tunes alike. The reference to the "Scottish roots scene" in the blurb is perhaps justified by the Afro-Caledonian feel of some tracks, but this is never overdone and the percussion adds welcome depth to the overall sound.

The new compositions by Rod, Lynn and Gavin give a very distinctive flavour to the album. There is plenty of new and exciting material here, and all of it played with great skill and energy. I'm already looking forward to Iron Horse's next album, whatever they decide to call it!

The Iron Horse - Thro' Water, Earth & Stone (1993) @320Kbps

2009-10-05T15:57:00.000+08:00

For some time now, The Iron Horse has been making a name for itself on the Scottish folk scene. Because of the instrumental line-up, including Highland pipes, it is inevitable that this band will be compared to some other Scottish bands which have gone before. I believe that this album proves that The Iron Horse is fast developing its own sound.

"Thro' Water, Earth and Stone" has six instrumental and five vocal tracks. The instrumentals are a mixture of traditional and contemporary tunes, some written by members of the band, and all in traditional style. The arrangements are excellent and the playing is bright and crisp.

The singers, Annie Grace and Lynn Morrison, also play - whistles/pipes and keyboards/viola/fiddle respectively. Their singing isn't as strong as their instrumental skills, but it's pleasant and the arrangements make up for any lack of strength in the vocal department.

Overall, it's a very good album and would be welcome in anyone's collection of Scottish/Celtic music.

Calan - Bling (2009) @160Kbps

2009-09-29T17:16:00.000+08:00

Calan bring together the remarkable talents of 5 young musicians giving a fresh and ‘cool’ sound to traditional Welsh music. With their contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions. Sparkling melodies, foot tapping tunes and a spirited and energetic performance of Welsh step dancing. They blast their way through some of the old favourite reels, jigs and hornpipes with fast paced and uplifting arrangements before melting into some of the most beautiful and haunting songs.

Four of the members met up in Sweden in 2005 while taking part in Trac’s Wales-Sweden exchange programme, visiting the Ethno summer school. They are all in their teens and early twenties, and come from different parts of Wales – the Lleyn Peninsula, Swansea, Bryn Mawr, Newport and Bangor.

Patrick Rimes - Fiddle, pipes and whistle – twice junior Celtic fiddle champion he is a multi instrumentalist who’s been called the rising fiddle star in Wales

Bethan Williams-Jones - accordion, piano, vocals and champion step dancer. Nominated in 2007 for the coveted Bryn Terfel Scholarship

Llinos Eleri Jones - learned her craft from the traditional players in Wales giving Calan that magical ingredient - the sound of the Welsh harp

Angharad Sian Jenkins – is not only folk player. Her talents are also being sought out by rock bands and singer songwriters. She recently toured Ireland, Holland and Brittany

Chris Evans (Chris ab Alun) - brings a mixture of traditional rhythms and a hint swing guitar to give the over all sound and racy feel.

Aidan O'Rourke - Sirius (2006) @320Kbps

2009-09-06T07:45:00.002+08:00

About the musician:

One of the UK’s most expressive and dynamic musicians, Aidan O'Rourke is a fiddle player and composer from Oban on the West Coast of Scotland. He is a member of BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winning trio, Lau and supergroup Blazin’ Fiddles and was recently voted ‘Instrumentalist of the Year’ at the Scots Traditional Music Awards.

A composer of flair and imagination, Aidan O'Rourke’s melodies have been recorded by many established artists and he has been commissioned by numerous arts organisations including the Dundee Rep Theatre, Folkworks in Tyneside and Tolbooth in Stirling, where he is the current musician-in-residence. Last year he made vital compositional and performing contributions to two new creative collectives. The first is Parallelogram, a genre-defying, beautifully anomalous nucleus of creative sound, which also features his Lau band mates Martin Green and Kris Drever in addition to Pete Wareham (Acoustic Ladyland) and Flook's Brian Finnegan (whistles/flute), John Blease (Drums) and Oli Hayhurst (Bass). The second is Cascade, a project that features Aidan alongside Andy Sheppard (saxophones), Sheema Mukherjee (sitar), Simon Thoumire (concertina) and Kuljit Bhamra (tabla/percussion) - musicians with international reputations for cross-genre and improvisatory work. Both of these collectives premiered at the South Bank Centre in London in the autumn of 2006 and were performed throughout 2007.

Other recent commissions include: Encore – a project involving some of the UK’s finest young musicians which toured extensively as the opening act for Blazin’ Fiddles and has been recorded for CD; Mantra Alba which featured the children of Dunfermline and welcomed the Dalai Lama to Scotland in 2004 and Sirius a work for 13-piece band that was commissioned by Celtic Connections New Voices series. Aidan’s musical style and expression is evident in this vast work which incorporates a wide variety of musical styles from ultra-traditional folk to jazz, roots and groove. The band featured some of Europe's top jazz and traditional musicians including Harald Haugaard, Charlie McKerron, Brian Finnegan, Colin Steele, Luke Daniels and Phil Bancroft and has not only been released on CD, but was chosen for performance by the Carl Nielsen Academy of Music (Odense, Denmark) as an example of how different musical genres can work together.

Aidan is much sought after as a teacher and session musician and has performed on over 80 albums, ranging from Runrig to Karine Polwart and Karen Mathieson. Always one who is keen to diversify, he has been a featured soloist in Donald Shaw’s spectacular “Harvest” concert and he also made his acting debut as a helmsman from Barra in the Highland Festivals theatre production The Seven Hunters.

In addition to his ongoing work with Lau and Blazin’ Fiddles, Aidan is also a member of the Colin Steele's Stramash and appears occasionally with Karine Polwart and Scotland's unofficial folk orchestra, The Unusual Suspects.

About the album:

This music was originally commissioned by Celtic Connections Festival in 2003 as part of the New Voices series. A lovely full-sounding album of great themes and gorgeous playing.

Aidan writes.." Burning the brightest star in the sky, Sirius has been used for centuries as a key navigational tool for travellers. As a travelling musician it is often difficult to appreciate what you are experiencing on the road. The people I meet and the places I visit often merge together as a tour progresses. In writing this music I took the time to reflect on my experiences and to appreciate the people, the places and the many adventures. I've been travelling and touring since I was 15, which is half my life. In the midst of these journeys , one thing has remained constant: Sirius. To me, Sirius represents home.

The Collies comprise of six members, four hailing from Co. Sligo, one from Luton, England and one from North Mayo. As individual artists the members have already established themselves as very talented musicians throughout the country and abroad but combined together as a team they definitely have plenty of Bark and Bite.

The very talented Colm O'Donnell (nicknamed Shep) is the founder of the Band. Colm has not only established himself as being one of the finest traditional singers today, but has many all Ireland credits to his name on concert flute, tin whistles, as well as singing. He has toured with Comhaltas many times, and Music Network and has taught Traditional music and song all over Ireland and abroad.

Tubbercurry man Declan Payne (Fido) plays the Piano Accordion with the group. Declan is highly regarded as an excellent player and teacher of the instrument. He has toured with Gurteen group Ceoltoiri Coleman and Music Network. Declan is holder of a Senior All Ireland title on the Piano Accordion.

Playing Banjo and Mandolin on the group is Declan's wife, Theresa O'Grady.

She has traveled the world, playing, and teaching the Banjo, and has toured with Comhaltas many times. Theresa is a holder of Senior Banjo, duet, and trio All Ireland titles.

Shane McGowan (Bruce) is one of the accompanists with the group. He hails from Knocknashee in South Sligo . He is the son of the great flute player Harry McGowan. Shane is an exceptional guitarist, and plays many different styles of music. He is one of the dominant figures on the Dublin scene, playing regularly in venues throughout the city but also finds time to teach at many workshops. Shane has been featured accompanying many great artists on the television programmes, namely “The Late Late Show” and “Open House” .

Mayo woman Maria Lynn (Sal) plays Piano and Bouzouki with the group. She has taught the Piano at many musical festivals both in Ireland and abroad. She is a member of Ceoltoiri Coleman throughout the summer months, and tours abroad regularly with her ceili band, “The Heather Breeze Ceili Band”.

To complete the group we have on Bodhrán and vocals Siobhán O'Donnell. Siobhán (Sheeba) is the eldest daughter of Colm and is the youngest member of the group.

Martyn Bennett - Grit (2003) @256Kbps

2009-03-23T15:04:00.000+08:00

Grit is the last studio album by Scottish celtic fusion artist Martyn Bennett. It was released Oct 13, 2003 on the Real World label.

The song was a marked departure from his previous albums in that Martyn's was reliant on using samples as he was too weak to play his instruments. Also by the time of the album it was now clear that there was every danger that it may prove his last, that he was in effect writing his own musical epitaph.

The name "Grit" was chosen to represent the double edged nature of his life at that time, for as well as representing the courage required to carry on his life as normal instead of merely giving up in despair, grit can also be something irritating and debilitating (eg. grit in the eye)

The track "Liberation" drew some unlikely praise from some circles within the Free Church of Scotland and Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland - the track is based around a reading by Michael Marra of Psalm 118. The track "Rant" sampled Jimmy MacBeath.

The album Mackay's Memoirs featuring Martyn's compositions was recorded by Broughton High School the morning after his death in 2005, those involved only discovering about Martyn's death after they'd finished.

02.Blackbird

Martyn Bennett - Glen Lyon (2002) @128Kbps

2009-03-21T15:03:00.000+08:00

Despite his struggles with ill-health, multi-instrumentalist Martyn Bennett continues to be in the vanguard of those mixing traditional music and technology.This, his fourth album, features a cycle of Gaelic songs sung by his mother Margaret, and the family connection is extended with sampled field-recordings of his grandmother and great-great grandfather. Bennett has framed and interleaved mum's bright, delicate yet wiry vocals with restrained touches of fiddle, pipes, guitar, bass and percussion, as well as a wealth of found sounds -- birds, bees, a ticking clock and a fishing-boat's bilge-pump -- digitally transformed into loops and rich background textures. Other samples include the sound of a 1920s threshing machine, woven into the reaping song Buain A' Choirce, Bosnian artillery fire in the bitter lament A Theˆrlaich ñig, and wild Native American chants and drumming on the 19th-century Canadian composition Oran Nam Mogaisean.Profound in conception and assured in execution, Glen Lyon is a bold, brilliant and often deeply moving synthesis of modern studio capabilities and the ageless potency of ancient songs, catalysed by one of the most fertile musical minds in the business.

2009-02-24T15:55:00.000+08:00

Another album, "The Jeannie C," was released in 1982 with a pretty different lineup. Anne Conroy (accordion) and Mick O'Brien (pipes) now anchored the instrumental work, and with Paddy Glackin joining in on some of them as well, it made for a great sound. Brian McDonagh was no longer with the band at that point. "Jeannie C" was re-released on CD on RBM in Germany, where the band had a lot of success, the McGowans have since made their home there.

Oisin - Bealoideas (1979) @128Kbps

2009-02-22T15:53:00.001+08:00

Oisin was indeed the name of the band--not to be mistaken with that of the Scottish group Ossian.

Their first LP, Oisin, came out in 1976. Members of the band then were Geraldine McGowan (vocals, bodhran, recorder), Tom McDonagh (bouzouki), Mick Davis (fiddle, vocals), Brian McDonagh (mandolin), and Seamus McGowan (guitar vocals). Mick Davis was not exactly a hot fiddle player, so the instrumentals left a bit to be desired, even with Paul Brady supplying guitar backup on one track. However, one track of reels, "The Maple Leaf" and "The Man of Aran," both composed by whistle player/piper Darach de Brun (he also played on that one track), remains a classic. And the opening mandolin/bouzouki duet on "Doherty's Jig" (aka "The Swedish Jig") was much copied. But the strength of the band was definitely the songs, for Geraldine's beautiful voice and Seamus's earthy singing as well as for the string-dominated arrangements. Not that they would sound like anything terribly special now, as they relied on very much the same ideas and textures first explored by Planxty, only not quite as well executed--but at the time it still made an impact.

There were two more albums coming out in close succession, "Bealoideas" in 1979 and "Over the Moor to Maggie" in 1980, the latter with Gerry Phelan (flute, whistle) having joined the band and with Paddy Glackin and Mick O'Brien playing on one track each. Those first three albums have been re-released on CD by Ossian.

Track Listing:
01.Peata Beag Do Mhaithair
02.The Star Of Munster
03.The Cow Ate The Piper
04.The Gold Ring

Ceolbeg - Seeds To The Wind (1991) @192Kbps

2009-02-14T15:50:00.000+08:00

Seeds To The Wind, which was produced by Dick Gaughan, was the third album from Ceolbeg. The inspiration for the title track - a Davy Steele, Colin Matheson song - came from Colin, whose family originated in Braes, on the Island of Skye (some still live there). A battle was fought during the Clearances by men and women who did not want to leave, but were in the end physically made to go by both police and militia. The person instructing the police and militia was the clan chief Ronald McDonald.

The Whistlebinkies - Timber Timbre (1999) @160Kbps

2009-02-08T15:47:00.000+08:00

The tunes are the finest Scotland has to offer: "John Roy Stewart" and "Achmore Loch" are beautiful, "The Sailor's Wife" is a jig which deserves to be widely known, and there's a fine set of Shetland reels fitted onto the pipes. Piper Rab Wallace also illustrates the difference in tone between the lowland pipes and the Scottish smallpipes, and as if that weren't enough he fits a pair of traditional Chinese tunes onto the limited smallpipe scale with breath-taking results. There are four songs, three in Scots Gaelic from Judith Peacock and one in Scots from guest James MacMillan. Two of them are from this century, but all are in a very traditional style. Judith has a light, pure voice which suits the sadder Gaelic songs perfectly, and the instrumental arrangements are suitably discreet. This is a very pleasant recording with some really interesting material .

The Whistlebinkies - A Wanton Fling (1996) @128Kbps

2009-02-06T15:47:00.000+08:00

This album has all the freshness of early Whistlebinkies recordings, although some of the rough edges have been worn down over time. The singing is much less brash than at one time, and this album shows a gentleness which belies the title. The combination of lowland pipes, clarsach, flute, concertina and fiddle has an air of chamber music about it on many tracks, and many of the tunes are taken at a more leisurely pace than is usual nowadays. This more relaxed style brings out aspects of the music which are seldom noticed in more upbeat performances. The slow version of "The Marquis of Huntly" and the set of Niel Gow tunes both show the benefits of a less racey treatment, as does the well-known song "Cam' Ye O'er Frae France?"

Liam O'Flynn & Shaun Davey - The Brendan Voyage (1980) @192Kbps

2009-01-12T14:49:00.001+08:00

'The critical and popular success of The Brendan Voyage was as ground-breaking as the music itself. Over the years its power as a single, self-contained suite for Uilleann pipes, Orchestra and Rhythm Section has remained undiminished while the progress of the Celtic Music Renaissance has confirmed not only its author's visionary genius but the status of this one work as an absolute cornerstone for so many subsequent developments. Subsequent years have seen others paint on the pallet of Davey's dream, but in my view there is still only one master of the form. Regularly lauded as a populist with integrity, a visionary, a serious artist, an unsung hero at the very dawn of the current Celtic music explosion, Shaun Davey is all of these things and more..."

Described as one of the most ground-breaking folk albums of all time, redirecting the future of traditional music, Michael's second album featured friends like Dezi Donnelly, Capercaillie's Karen Matheson, Donald Shaw and Alan Kelly, together with Karan Casey and even DJ Talvin Singh. Highly Recommended. (Jan 2000)
