Frankly I am glad that there’s something going on with Connie Dover and the Chieftains. I think for people who haven’t heard miss Dover sang they should hear it. She has the purest emotional voice around. As for the Chieftains, well these guys introduced me to the who Celtic genre.

Upcoming Mary Fahl Tour Dates

Mary Fahl

For fans of October Project and Mary Fahl‘s solo project,you can check out her upcoming appearances here. It has been a long time since she released her debut album The Other Side of Time, followed by a track by track take of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon titled From The Dark Side Of The Moon. Mary has the vocal pipes made for the Gods .

Could October Project be the same without her? She defined what a ‘vampire kiss’ means when you have such a voice. Interview With The Vampire could have been the ticket the band needed in order to make it to the mainstream. But they instead used the lame Guns and Roses track which is actually a cover of a Rolling Stone original .

  A family emergency has forced Canadian Celtic superstar Loreena McKennitt from performing in a festival in Morocco.

Quinlan Road says:

Loreena McKennitt has been forced to cancel the opening concert of her upcoming Mediterranean tour.

 

She will be unable to participate in the Festival of World Sacred Music in Fez, Morocco; she was due to perform there next Saturday, June 6.

“I’m facing a grave family emergency and being away from home at this time is not an option,” the Stratford, Ontario-based singer said.  “It is most difficult to make this unprecedented decision to cancel a concert so close to its date”

 

”It’s my greatest hope that I will be able to play this prestigious festival — I’ve been aware of it for so many years — in the future.”

A Mummer’s Dance Through Ireland is the singer’s latest album which is a compilation of her Irish themed songs.

 For more information, please visit: Quinlan Road her official website.

  Well I just hope her family would recover soon.My best wishes to her and her band.
