What Happened to the Website?

Some of you might be asking what happened. Why the sudden change in the design. Well folks, first, thank you for taking notice of the changes that happen here, and for  complimenting my fashion sense (@#$R%G!). I was thinking since summer is here, it is time to appreciate the warm colors of nature. A great Monday to you all. I am several hours ahead because I am in Asia. I want to urge you to take time to read the blog of this harpist by the name of Amy. I used some of her ideas in my Got Harp Blisters article. Apart form the great thoughts she has written, I love the header design.

The Cherry Cokes: Japanese Celtic Punk Band in Osaka

/ mrbaxteria2008 / Leave a comment

I invite all Celtic musicians  from around the world to jam with The Cherry Cokes when they go to Osaka, Japan. I can describe the band’s sound as energetic, oftentimes  melodic and always gorgeously stylish.  You can get info from their website but it is in Japanese and Google translate doesn’t help much. I will have to ask a friend who is fluent Japanese speaker soon.Their new album Black Revenge is out.

Now I am going to talk about this video called Rascal Trail. I would have preferred it in colored though because I think they have chosen a great spot to shoot. I have to say, I like the accordion player because she really hammed it up there. Everyone performed in an  exceptional manner here. I think the rain was a cool addition. It must have been a cold shoot. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! This discovery is very interesting. I will have to look for more Japanese Celtic bands!

IMG_7334  I took an extended break from work today due to my tummy ache. I took a peek at what’s new in Northen Skyline-a Clannad fansite and that’s when I read about Ciaran Sweeney. For years you might have seen his designs worn by major celebrities, but this man hit Celtic home when he was taken by Moya Brennan to dress her Two Horizons album and the rest.

According to his website: The list of owners of Ciarán Sweeney creations includes The President of Ireland, Madonna, Elton John, Kylie Minogue, The Corrs, Moya Brennan, Altan, Dinah Carrol, Brenda Belthyn. His corporate clients include Guinness, Smirnoff, PGA, Irish Distillers, Nokia, The Ulster Museum, Vodafone.
