Weekend is here again. What can be better just forgetting about life’s hectic schedules and just listen to music or going some place where the grasses are green and the sun never sets. Here is one  American artist and her name is Shauna Burns. She is the Celtic Tori Amos with a flair of  Loreena McKennitt’s penchant for rousing the ancient spirit. Two full length albums from her are available: Anamnesis and The Moon and the Fire Circle You can learn more through her official MySpace page. Enjoy your tea .

I met Caz through this site. We then added each other on MySpace . Every now and then she writes about her travels  and about the concerts she attended. Her blog deals with her musical experiences and  travels all over the UK and Ireland. That’s where I also got to know these talented singers Darren Holden , James Fox and The High Kings. I think Darren has a big heart as shown through his advocacy. Caz tries to make sure she highlights those in her writings. I give floor to Caz and her colorful articles.

Hello Celtic music lovers. We have a featured blogger today by the name of Christi Boersma . According to her profile bio: “ I have gardens, pups (2) and am married. I’m an Episcopalian and active in my church; a moderate politically; proud to be from Michigan; an ex-teacher (English); a mom to 3 grown sons; Grandmum to 4 grandkids from the age of 3 to 14 years; and I also love, totally love British mysteries “.

Christi and I met through our blogger community Blogcatalog and since then we love talking about everything Irish. Her two articles are composed of pictures and observations about the recent Michigan Irish Festival attended by a lot of internationally recognized musicians such as Natalie McMaster , Solas and The Leahy Family .
