A recommendation for some heart pounding, foot stomping, ear splitting, and nose bleeding music that we discovered at the Jubilee Olde English Faire in Brimfield Ill.
The group is called Albannach and I have been listening to their CD "Eye of the Storm" here at work.... softly, but only reluctantly. It needs to be played LOUD!!!
Albannach is a Scottish group from, of course, Scotland and they have been touring the US and visiting Renn faires and the such and making big waves and tons of new fans... myself included.
They played at the fair, just about at the end of the St. Sebastian Archery demonstration and were at least 100 yards or more away, and I could not yell loud enough to be heard over them. Anyway, I did not mind. It was great music. And they music they make is updated traditional stuff and original stuff and it makes no bones about their love of their country and what they think of the the English all all that hubabaloo. They have the pipes, the bodhrans, and the kettle drums. Yes.. huge scottish kettle (war)drums and they beat the hell out of them.
This is great stuff! Check it out at www.albannachonline.com
I highly recommend the track "The Gael" which is a remake of certain parts of the Last of the Mohican soundtrack. Great stuff.
And to my buddy Chuck in Minnesota... I think even you would have loved this music!
Later!
