Celtic music

Corries and Celtic woman are two Celtic groups, whose songs I like very much.

Celtic Woman - A lot of credit should go to the composer, David Downes. Celtic Woman is a musical ensemble comprising five Irish female artists: vocalists Chlo Agnew, Lynn Hilary, Lisa Kelly, Alex Sharpe and fiddler Mirad Nesbitt.

Here are two other celtic songs which I like very much. Both are classics

1. This one's lyrics are breathtaking especially the part

Where in purple hue the Hieland hills we view,
An' the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin';
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring,
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'

Celtic music always reminds me of the evergreen Eireaan by Afro Celt Sound system whose rip of version is well known amidst us.

Not exactly Celtic, but kinda sorta close - Gaelic Storm is an amazing band. You probably know their famous composition from Titanic.

For a moment, I thought you are talking about Boston Celtic.
