Pipe Band from Belgium

A Renaissance in Celtic Music

The Brobdingnagian Bards (pronounced brAHb'ding-näg-EE-en) are The Original Celtic Renaissance duo combining unique instrumentation (autoharp, recorder & mandolin) that'll leave you hungry for more: Celtic drinking songs for breakfast; fantasy, folk and dragon sandwiches for lunch; and an extra helping of JRR Tolkien-esque instrumentals for dinner.

They are the #1 Celtic band on MP3.com with over Three Million MP3s downloaded making them one of the Top 10 bands on MP3.com...out of over 200,000! This success and their entertaining live show make them a favorite of Celtic and Renaissance Festivals despite the fact that they do not have a label.

Stationary Willberries

"A trio from the Isle of Man, Stationary Willberries play traditional Manx folk, along with contemporary folk, blues and popular music by folks such as James Taylor, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon- and it all works wonderfully together. One of
their tunes is nothing more than a guitar solo lifted from a Beatles song- yet it is so exquistly crafted and performed it works beautifully as a stand alone song. This seasoned trio share other activities and interests with each other besides
music. Two of them are bicyclists, two of them teachers, a couple of them working in banks. Somehow these shared life interests have helped them form a musical bond that results in a sound that resonates emotionally as well as musically. It doesn't hurt that accordian player Alan Hess provides a strong
bass line lifted electrically from the left hand buttons of his accordian! " (Lee Widner - Feb 04 - Live 365)

It's a great sound and you can hear them on Highlander!

Ollie Kennedy...the singer, the songwriter and the performer has been around a long time - he played with the showbands. He's played pubs and concert halls, he's been Foster and Allen's bass guitarist for longer than most of us can remember. As a musician, guess one could say he's middle of the road ( a little bit country, a little bit rock n roll, a little bit celtic) - yet distinctly Irish. Just listen to his "Squeezebox in Mullingar Town" and you'll find yourself transported to his Westmeath home.

This is Ollie's official homepage - and features a photo gallery, a newborn discography section, lyrics and a guestbook. If you know who Ollie Kennedy is - drop by and leave a hello. If yo've never heard of him...take a look anyway...you might be his next fan.

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.

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 !

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 !

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.

Thanks to large immigrant communities, the music of Ireland and Scotland has spread all over the globe, and it has even insinuated itself into the mainstream. However, the Celtic realm actually consists of six nations, subdivided into two groups of three homelands that are related to one another by language and culture. Ireland (Eire), along with the UK-based Scotland (Alba) and Isle of Mann (Mannin or Ellan Vannin) make up one linguistic branch, known as Goidelic, while the other, called Brythonic, is comprised of Wales (Cymru), Cornwall (Kernow), also geographically in the U.K., plus Brittany (Breizh) in Western-most France, as well as the region of Galicia in Northwest Spain.

Symphonic Guitars..!
What if the Classical Masters had access to Electric Guitars, Amps, Fuzz Boxes, Wah Wah pedals, Digital Delays, Flangers, Multitrack Hard Disk Recording Devices, Computers and other various Digital Sound Processing toys”?

Dan Sindel, a “One Man Orchestra” recreates Orchestral Scores by transposing and transcribing the compositions to fit the guitars tonal range…. Hundreds of layered guitar tracks create a massive electric guitar “Wall of Sound.”

Starting at age 9, Dan began learning trumpet and later moved on to playing the French horn and trombone in various Junior and Senior High School Jazz bands and orchestras.

Then one day it was all over! After hearing Jimmy Page hit the open "D" string and toggle the pickup selector switch and launch into the live version of "The Song Remains the Same," Dan knew his life would never quite "remain the same"...

This newfound discovery became a sonic obsession and the first order of business was to learn how to play guitar. At 14, Dan signed up for lessons with an amazing teacher, Philippe Willems (Facts Of Music®) who in turn was a protégé of the Legendary ‘Chord Chemist’ Ted Greene (R.I.P). After a few years studying with Philippe, Dan was fortunate enough to start taking private lessons with Ted Greene and continued to study with Ted on and off for over 20 years."

Dan has been recording an extensive catalog of public domain orchestral works showcasing his musical depth and versatility as well as his own diverse musical compositions. His musical influences range from classical, jazz, ragtime, big band, swing, marching band to rock and heavy metal in all its forms.

Music is his passion and Dan's demo work has been receiving international acclaim, airplay and was voted first place in the 2005 DMusic Awards (www.dmusic.com) in the classical category with his interpretation of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons - The Spring.

2006 was a great year; having received well over 200,000 downloads via his site, blog and podcast’s Dan is absolutely thrilled as an upcoming artist to see that so many people are enjoying his ‘Symphonic Guitar’ approach.”

Furthering his ‘Symphonic Guitars’ concept, Dan is in pre-production for his debut Album “Marching In - A Tribute to the March King” - John Philip Sousa” working in conjunction with Grammy Award Winning engineer, Khaliq Glover (Marcus Miller/Herbie Hancock/Prince).

“Marching In” has a scheduled 2007 release date.
