Very excited tonight to hear from the Celtic Music group IONA! I have seen them in concert many times and they put on a wonderful show. Especially their circle dance is always a favorite with the kids.
I remember they even have a few Celtic Dancers that come along with the shows.
Looking forward to receiving their CD's and we will get them up on the broadcast ASAP!

I've got Open Sky in my New Age collection on the recommendation of a Hastings employee. Granted not my A 100 favorite, but I certainly don't regret the purchase Looking forward to hearing them here. Good music
MacFive! I love the lead singer.............I forget her name, but she is awesome. Can you tell me where the band is from? are they from the UK somewhere? I look very forward to hearing their music on here.
I'm not sure where the band is from (though I believe they are Irish), but I know that the singer's name is Joanna Hogg. I like Iona too and look forward to hearing more of their music! Thanks Mac!

'S i Alba t́r mo chridhe. 'S i Gàidhlig cànan m' anama. Scotland is the land of my heart. Gaelic is the language of my soul.
And if you get a chance, the Christian CD that she released with Christian artist Margaret Becker and Clannad's Máire Brennan, called In Christ Alone, is excellent too IMHO!
OK guys, back up 20 and punt! Are we talking Iona, the Christian praise group, or Iona, the Celtic trad group? My money is on the latter, given this site...... If so, the lead singer is Barbara Ryan, and she is a super nice person. They are based outside of Washington, DC.

If age is a learning experience, I should be a genius by now...
Oh oh! I don't know! I assumed it was the Christian praise group with Joanne Hoag! I wasn't aware there was another IONA. Thanks 3Ravens for educating me! I am very anxious to know now!
Oops! I wasn't aware that there was another band called Iona either! MacFive, can you clarify this one for us? Which Iona is it? (I fear 3Ravens is right, but the other Iona is good too! )
I'll be darned. I didn't know there was another Iona. The problem is that while Iona (The Christian Praise Group) is definitely Christian, they are also of the Celtic persuasion. So while they may not be "trad", I would say that either could be discussed here. (I have seen the likes of Wolfstone and Seven Nations on here, which are definitely celtic rock.) Man, that's confusing. Thanx for letting us know, though!
