Description

This is a collection of some of our favorite and most oft played celtic instrumentals featuring Patrick D'Arcy from Dublin on the uilleann pipes. Many of the tracks were recorded live in order to capture the rousing energy of these fun tunes.

Notes

In ancient days in Ireland and Scotland, friends and family would gather in thatched roof homes with flagstone
floors and play music, sing, dance and tell stories through the night. This home was often called a Ceili house. Friends would congregate by the fireplace or in the kitchen and would spend time supporting each other.
This tradition helped the town people to forget about the sometimes harsh life conditions and to celebrate life.

“Celtic Sessions” captures the warmth and gaiety of that tradition as The Celts perform some of their favorite Irish and Scottish Trad tunes and recorded them intentionally raw in order to capture the authentic earthy nature of the tunes and instruments.

The Celts (formerly known as “The Blair Band”) have been performing around the world for 17 years. The Celts are a combination of Scottish born and Irish-American musicians currently based in Nashville. The band performs a combination of fiery Scottish/Irish traditional instrumental tunes and vocal songs as well as their own hybrid style of Celtic pop rock original songs with earthy, organic Celtic instrumentation.
