The Best of Celtic Music

Happy St. Paddy's Day!
Let's celebrate with a bit of music, shall we?

Altan
A legendary band, and arguably Ireland's best traditional one.

Hayley Westenra
She has the most gorgeous voice I've ever heard.

Julie Fowlis
The only artist who sings in native Scottish Gaelic.

Natalie MacMaster
She does things with a fiddle I never thought possible.

Cherish the Ladies
A fantastic band full of the lovliest voices you'll ever hear.

Déanta
The band that introduced me to Celtic music.

Loreena McKennitt
She sings/composes both World and Celtic music in
her stunning voice.

Enya
Even though she doesn't do Celtic music,
there's no denying that Enya is the absolute best
thing to ever come out of Ireland.

    Awesome-filled collection of music; my friend saw Cherish the Ladies a few years back.
    Wow, I'm definitely checking out Natalie MacMaster.
    Happy St. Patrick's Day!
