music Alex Kennedy's Celtic Music Thread

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

Because there aren't enough music threads already, and because I get bored way too easily and have too much free time on my hands, I'm going to go ahead and throw my hat into the ring. Not that I expect anyone to care.

 

So... yeah, Celtic music. Traditional stuff mainly, although I guess if you wanted to post Flogging Molly or something that would be fine. Anyway, I'm just gonna throw some songs up here and call it a day.

I swear, one of these days I'll remember how to embed videos properly.

The first song is a rendition of a traditional irish song, "Fields of Athenry" by the Itish punk group the Dropkick Murphys. Danny Boy is a traditional Irish song that's often sung at Irish funerals and i hope i can have this played at my own (because i'm baptised Greek Orthodox).

"Fields of Athenry" by the Itish punk group the Dropkick Murphys.

 

My favorite version of this song, and probably one of my favorite songs period. Honestly, I never really liked Oh Danny Boy all that much, and I feel really bad about it. 

 

More music because I'm already listening to it.

 

"Dublin O'shea" by The Irish Rovers

 

My favorite song by Flogging Molly, "Tobacco Island"
