A lot of the scots and irish groups it's the female singers that made them.

You know you can listen to celtic connections on the internet the transatlantic sessions are worth listening to as well. The variety is surprising-it's not all bagpipes and jimmy shand.

You might like this Pam, then again you might hate it

Quite taken with this

I enjoyed that, Buttercup. Thank you. Nice folky sound, great banjo too. Good lyrics.

Oscar - I prefer the version you posted of the Theme from Harry's Game to the Enya one. I grew allergic to the echo chamber effect there. Moya Brennan!! I'll be exploring her, so to speak..

May Luke and Ronnie rest in peace.....

This is a song dedicated to all of our Aussie friends here.....

Ronnie singing "Waltzing Matilda." What a poignant and sad song for your country and our world.

Two very fine songs, Kathy. I know them both well. Love Ronnie Drew's voice.

"And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is about Gallipoli. Here's the original - Aussies get kind of emotional about it.

Hi Pam,

Yes, Megan and I had some conversations about that song....heartbreaking song.

My Irish rellys taught us that song and we still sing it now at parties....

I love the history of your country and really need to go back and read all of Mrs. K's threads about Oz.

You live in a beautiful country

My fav song is "Far away in Australia." It was going to be my wedding song long ago

YouTube - Dolores Keane - Far Away in Australia

Oh, the Parting Glass is a lovely, sad song....Better not listen now to these two songs...they both make me cry

See ya later...off the salt mines...will listen later with a box of tissues

Ah Kathy!!! The Dolores Keane song is beautiful.

Here's something of mine in similar mode.
