Song of the Isle: Archive of great Anglo-Celtic Songs
Click the image to go to the main site.
I am always supportive of a fellow blogger and I think David Wood has an amazing site dedicated to the songs of the Anglo-Celtic world. It is a great archive for those who want to train vocally on the heart-hurting vocal music of the Celtic world.
Song of the Isle is the brainchild of David Wood, Music Director for WFIU Public Media, and an aspiring singer/conductor. He is more of an archivist for Celtic songs. What I like about his site is that he features both Gaelic and English songs. I dig Gaelic songs and what he is doing is remarkable. His site is focused on gathering the vocal music of the Anglo-Celtic world. What is the purpose of building this blog site? His aim is simple: To encourage the learning of traditional and modern Celtic music. David Wood currently resides in Bloomington, Indiana.

Maeve Gilchrist is a Scottish harpist who is now based in the States. 20th Chandler Street is a track that provides a magical listening experience with its unique style and wonderful melody. Thanks to Rachel Hair for the shout out!
Day off in Jackson MI and Duncan, Aidan and I decided to record some of our new tunes.

Andrea Balocco
Meet Italian musician Andrea Balocco. He plays one of the most visually appealing instruments-the hurdy-gurdy. Musical influences include: Sergio Berardo, Nigel Eaton, Patrick Bouffard, Anne-Lise Foy, Grégory Jolivet and Kevin Dalot. He records solo or sometimes with an ensemble. His music is a combination of French folk with leanings on Scottish Celtic music. Personally, I haven’t heard someone this good since Nigel Eaton.
