There are the nine songs we have been thinking about recording. We want you to decide what three will end up on the next Cd! This poll will run for 1 month. If you choose the 'other' catagory plaease list what song you are picking in a post.
I will tally the others at months end and post results of the poll!

Some men are drawn to oceans, they cannot breathe unless the air is scented with a salty mist. Others are drawn to land that is flat, and the air is sullen and is leaden as August. My people were drawn to mountains- Earl Hamner Jr.
Couldn't choose just one - Sweet Afton, The May Day Song and Other........ I love 'Will you go, lassie, go'!
If you can track it down, find the sound track to the Rick Stein cookery course (BBC TV) - it is a great recording of the Padstow May Day Song.... I love his cooking and Padstow and will be eating in his restaurant in September!!!!

O'siyo, Okay now before anyone 'slaps' me for not being correct, I will just say that I am new to CelticRadio and I am not familiar with the traditional songs~~ I love the majority of them I have been hearing and just thought I would suggest one that is just splendid~ ~Glengarry Bhoys~Deep Inside~ I love the sound & words and just have no doubt that for a more contemporary band such as yours, you could add your own 'flavor' and really 'tear' this song up ~~ Sty-U

I'm not too familiar with the songs that were listed that's why I voted for "other". What I would love to hear on the cd would be either The Parting Glass, or Will Ye Go Lassies Go? I don't know if you consider those songs "traditional" I just really like them.

There's a dear little plant that grows in our Isle Twas St . Patrick himself, sure, that set it; And the sun of his labour with pleasure did smile, And with dew from his eye often wet it. It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the Mireland, and they call it the dear little shamrock of Ireland.
Barddas! I voted for "other" as I love your song Morrigan and wish so much for that to be on the new CD. Sorry, I am not familar with the traditional songs........yet. Anxious for your new CD to come out!
The Mickey Dam Great trad song that isn't done nearly enough and has great potential for arrangement. I know a musician by the name of Duncan Cameron has it on his CD "The Whistling Thief"
I have an .mp3 if anyone wants a sample....
Cheers

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. - Frederick Buechner
If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles, how can it be called progress?
May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Jason, I'd like to hear a few good ol' Stan tunes. (surprise)
How about, The Athens Queen, or Maid on the Shore? The Bluenose is mind boggling, but it only makes sense to those who have seen her, or another old Schooner roll the waves over.

I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
