I enjoy this group greatly I never really knew that celtic music was such a great influnce on my family history but my Mother always enjoyed this and she was a great lady. and i know that this new cd will be just as good as all the rest as i have them all. keep up the good work. yours sherry boyer bowling green, mo.
All my life I’ve grown up with the enchanting sounds of my native country, Ireland. For so long the majestic music filling my heart was but a dream, thanks to Music of Ireland: Welcome home, it is now a reality. The performers I’ve admired all my life are here, just before me. The beauty in their ability of song and dance gives me a dream to look up to. Never shall I love anything more deeply than that of Ireland, and its rich heritage of life.
All my best,
Morgan Flynn Etnyre
