Most of the different styles have been done, after all, that's how some of these new ones came to be. Maybe something has been missed though? Start by ruling out some that have been done: Pop Rock -- it's called Celtic Folk Rock (Amadan, Emerald Rose, several others) Metal -- See also: Ashley MacIssac Country -- it wouldn't be country if it weren't Celtic. Specially Bluegrass Techo -- Afro Celt Sound System Blues -- Heather Dale -- "War Between Brothers" There's more, and probably better examples than above. Hard to think perhaps, of somethat haven't been done. One I've got to mention... Has anyone heard any Celtic Disco? I can't imagine what it would sound like, but I do get this really funny image of Travolta's character from Saturday Night Fever, dressed in full highland dress (including kilt) and holding a set of pipes, while out there on the floor. I think I remember Paul saying he'd been sent some CDs that were almost a mix with Rap/Hip Hop? Let's have fun with this and see what wierd ideas come out of it! What can we come up with that might not have been done yet. Another one, Could you imagine Ace of Base doing "Wild Mountain Thyme" in a way that would fit on The Sign? Some of these mixes, I know, would be disasters waiting to happen. But let's have fun with it -------------------- Poet and seeker of knowledge                  balisodare  Posted: 12-Jan-2005, 03:07 PM Clan Member Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 66 Joined: 25-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Rowan I'm not sure about Celtic Disco...but I have heard some celtic funk. The artist is Neil Anderson, formerly of Seven Nations fame). His solo projects since 7N have been very interesting and very eclectic. Check out the album 'Full Circle' for any interested. There was a little while when uilleann piper Paddy Keenan and Japanese guitarist Junji Shirota teamed up and toured a while. I'm not sure if any albums were cut in that time...but...I hear great things were made during their tour. As for really out there celtic fusion.... There is a Breton man by the name of Patrick Molard who plays Highland and Uilleann pipes. Some of his more recent projects have included a violinsit, an indian tabla player, a bulgarian folk singer, and a jazz guitarist...ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Needless to say...it's VERY interesting stuff. Check out the album 'Deliou' -------------------- It's amazing what you can do with a little motivation and a lot of whiskey. -Name that Musician                 catlynelizabeth  Posted: 12-Jan-2005, 04:24 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 193 Joined: 25-Feb-2004 Zodiac: Birch Realm: Boston Celtic Punk has also been done. There are the bands Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy's that are a Celtic Punk mix. They are interesting because they take a lot of traditional songs or melodies and then just spin them differently. In the right mood they can be a lot of fun. -------------------- To watch us irish dance is to hear our hearts speak! Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast. Douglas Adams A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

It would be interesting, yet at the same time, very painful to listen to (considering some hip-hop can be painful anyway!) The Celtic disco I could see as well...thousands of disco dancers in leisure suits and kilts, playing "Morrison's Jig" or something snazzy like that! What would be even more invigorating would be Celtic-Latino music...wonder if that's been done yet? -------------------- Haldr, Traveller of the Great Forest "After all is said and done, a lot more will be said than done." - Unknown                  3Ravens  Posted: 26-Jan-2005, 09:13 PM Herbmistress of Erin Group: Ireland Posts: 1,084 Joined: 11-Aug-2003 Zodiac: Rowan Realm: south coastal Virginia "Space Piper" by Rare Air.....has a pic on the cover of a guy in full space suit, silver, air helmet and all.... in a kilt with a full set if pipes. New Age Celtic, anyone? Pretty good CD, too! -------------------- If age is a learning experience, I should be a genius by now...                 1 User(s) are reading this topic (1 Guests and 0 Anonymous Users) 0 Members: « Next Oldest | Celtic Music | Next Newest »  Fast Reply Show Smilies Pop Up Window |  Enable Smilies |  Enable Signature       Close Topic Options Track this topic Receive email notification when a reply has been made to this topic and you are not active on the board.
