Runrig

[mingkee]

I heard their song this morning: oran
the first impression is.....they sound like U2 at mid-80's...
I already put a target upon them.....

[CelticRoz]

I just bought The Best of Runrig..........Long Distance. Wonderful CD.

[Avonlea22]

That one is on my wish list. It's unfortunate that it's so expensive (at least what I found). Can't wait to get it someday, though.

[CelticRoz]

Yes, it is expensive. I got mine through Amazon.com and the CD is every bit worth the price! It is really terrific, but then I am a big Runrig fan!

[Avonlea22]

I bet it is. I'm sure it won't be too long before I get a copy. It's pretty high on my wish list. (hint, hint for the wife who also looks at this forum)

[CelticRoz]

Brian, maybe you will get it for Christmas.............hint.......hint!

[Tassiecelt]

I'm sorry, I regret to inform my esteemed friends here that.........I'm not overly fond of Runrig.

I do play their music on our weekly radio broadcast, but they are not my personal favourite. Mayhaps my taste needs be to mature to your own level Rosie

Still......it's celtic!

[Tassiecelt]

No sooner did I post this when who should appear on HR, but Runrig!! (the Summer Walkers).

Maybe there's a message there for me:D

[CelticRoz]

Oh Graham! Get Celtic Glory by Runrig! You might not like at first, but they grown on you!

[Tassiecelt]

OK Rose, I'll see what I can do.

Strangely, I've just been given "The Stamping Ground", my colleague in our radio broadcast has a cousin with KRL Lochshore in Scotland, we get a lot of freebies.

I've just arrived at work so I'll put it one and see if you can 'convert' me

[MacAibhistin]

I've been converted to this long standing band! As someone told me a while ago, they are like Scotland's version of America's Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Regardless, a respectable group. Personally, I like their newer stuff as it is returning to a more earthy, folk sound. Has anyone see the new Day of Days dvd yet? I am not sure if the DVD is available here in North America yet, but it has been out in Europe for about 6 months or so. That would make a really good Christmas present!

friend
I never heard them b4
till that morning
sounds so familiar
pretty like U2 in 85-87
I like it

[CelticRoz]

Matt, I don't think we have ever spoken before. Is that your picture in the avatar? Nice to meet you! I love U2 and I would say that Runrig is kind of like the U2 of Scotland!

Rory! I have heard that Runrig has concert DVDs out there, but never seen one released here and even if I purchased one from Europe, I don't think my DVD player could play it cause of the Region issue. Needless to say I am looking for it, since you mentioned it!

[MacAibhistin]

CRose, please let me know if you find it available in the N.American format! I've never seen one of their concerts either, but I'd love to!

Rory

[CelticRoz]

Well, I started looking on Amazon.com (North American) and I see nothing in the way of Runrig concert DVDs! Will keep checking around though and let you know!
