Where the babbling burn "Glazert" winds round a small rise, through the green countryside of East Ayrshire, there is a place...a place where Celtic men and women defended their homes and families 1,000-1,500 years ago. Against the painted Picts, the Brits of Strathclyde, the Gaels of Ireland, the Angles, the Romans and possibly the Vikings, they stood in this place, this fort of stone and mud, this insignificant small hill and paid for these lands with sinew and steel and blood! They gave this place a Name, these Celts:
...a name that would be carried by thousands down the Halls of Time.......To Ireland, America, Canada, Australia
...a Name that we know well...for it is ours

the Place, the Name :

Ceud mile failte is Gaelic for a hundred thousand welcomes and since my novels take place in medieval Scotland, it seems an appropriate greeting to offer those visiting my website. I hope, too, that you will enjoy the above glimpse at my very favorite part of Scotland: the hauntingly beautiful far north. Also known as Strathnaver, no other part of Scotland calls more to my soul or holds my heart more soundly. The day I took this photo I was filled with unfettered joy - full consumed by warmth and golden light, the sheer bliss of simply being in a place profoundly dear and meaningful to me. And now, even from across the vastness of the sea and far too many nights and days, just remembering is to know an unquenchable need to return.

Just what is Americelt Music ?

Well, Ron Lindsay, a singer songwriter and bona fide celt from Dundee on the East Coast of Scotland would say it is an 'innovative blend of acoustic roots, folk and country laced with the taste of celtic cream'. His debut album Americelt Union features 12 carefully chosen songs which have been produced to create this celtic influenced blend.

Ron's career began in the mid 70's. Life events in 1980 resulted in his music dreams being placed carefully on the 'sometime later shelf'. It took until 2002 before his sometime later eventually arrived. Now working closely with LA based producer John Wooler, Ron is again writing material inspired by his passion for melody and lyric driven music based on real life events, love, conflict and his battle with mental illness.

His album Americelt Union is the result of the new industry contacts made over the last 3 years. Barbara Orbison, wife of the legendary Roy Orbison is one of these new contacts. She asked him to record some celtic inspired demos of classic songs written by her late husband. The results were enthusiastically received and consideration is now being being given to the potential for an americelt compilation of the Big O's hits. The demos of Pretty Woman and Only The Lonely then featured on Iain Anderson's BBC Radio Scotland Show. This generated the seeds of a plan for Ron and producer John Wooler to put together an album of songs written by classic writers of the 60's and 70's and produced in a style aptly titled americelt.

Recorded at Steakhouse Studios, Los Angeles in Novermber 2004, Americelt Union was released on 4 July 2005. The americelt production concept brought together a top class studio band which featured David Immergluck of Counting Crows on acoustic guitars, mandolin, dobro and pedal steel. Stephen Hodges of Tom Waits Band took care of drums and percussion while Jeff Turmes of Fabulous Thunderbirds played bass. Eric Rigler of Braveheart Film Soundtrack fame added his ullian pipes with Kathleen Keane of Bad Haggis on fiddle and accordion. An album truly laced with the taste of celtic cream.

Ron is currently writing new material for his next release scheduled for late 2006. This album will mostly feature his own self penned material. He is also exploring collaboration, more americelt style production work and film score writing opportunities.

"Fáilte
Welcome to Irish Culture and Customs, a labor of love we began several years ago. What started as a surprise milestone birthday trip to Ireland became the beginning of a journey through time. A 2,000-year voyage on a quest to learn as much as we can about everything Irish. So here's where we are so far - more than 500 pages that range from Irish poetry, superstitions and recipes to specific Irish calendar celebrations such as St. Patrick's Day and the Feast of St. Brigid. Whether it's an Irish symbol such as the shillelagh or an Irish craft like Aran Isle knitting, you'll discover a wide range of topics in our index. We hope you find the little bit of Ireland you may be looking for."

About Us

If you have never heard or seen a performance by Clann An Drumma, then you may be left wondering just who exactly we are ?

It's simple really, Clann An Drumma means "Children of the Drum" - and that's exactly what we are - an exciting, energetic and rhythmic band, from Glasgow in Scotland. Our music has been passed down to us from our ancestors and is dominated by rhythm, enhanced by the skirl of the pipes, flavoured with enchanting vocals and wrapped in the warmth of our country !

On first impressions, you might think we are "just another Scottish pipes and drums band" - but when the percussion kicks in, you will soon realise that is not the case. Clann An Drumma's thunderous approach to percussion gives a brilliant new flair to those traditional pieces - and brings a whole new style of music to your living room !

Why not explore the rest of our website, meet the band, check out some sample tracks, view our photo albums, browse our community forums, or catch up on the latest with our fans in the LIVE chat ?

ABOUT THE BAND

The Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band was established in 1962 to preserve and advance Celtic piping, drumming, and dancing. We are one of the oldest existing pipe bands in the Upper Midwest. Over the years the Brian Boru Band has become a fixture in parades, celebrations, dances, and an increasing number of private festivities. We play for local, regional, and national events, adding a sense of tradition and spirit of pageantry to every program in which we participate.


Our distinctive Irish uniforms -- the saffron kilt, black tunic, and black cabeen (beret) with green or red plumes -- are modeled after traditional Irish pipe bands. A number of the band members wear the original brass buttons from uniforms of the Irish Volunteers, the very units involved in the historic Easter Uprising in Dublin, 1916. Officers of the Brian Boru Band, recognized by the distinctive red sash worn across their left shoulder, choose the tunes you hear.

Some of the music performed by the Brian Boru Band came out of that fierce era of Ireland's past. Other pieces are more modern, and many are much, much older -- ancient reels and airs, timeless ballads and war marches, and lively, lighthearted jigs.





Every member of the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band is a volunteer, and each performance represents hours of personal time dedicated to providing our listeners with the finest pipe and drum music available. Ask any band member about the free weekly babpipe and drum lessons available for anyone interested.

Weddings, parades, family reunions, or other celebrations are made much more special by performances by the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band, or by one or two pipers. We would be honored to help you turn a piping performance into one of the highlights of your event. The skirl of the pipes, the beat of the drums, and the graceful high step of our dancers make every occasion memorable.

Irish button accordion wizard David Munnelly & his award-winning group perform Irish traditional music excitingly fused with the rollicking ragtime sounds of the "Golden Age" of Irish American music of the 1920's & '30's, for the most part played fast, with an immense precision, and a live excitement not often duplicated.

Music critic Lucky Clark has called Munnelly "The Eddie Van Halen of the button box," and Bill Margeson of Irish Music Magazine has called the band "The hottest traditional group in Ireland."
