  • Northern Arizona Celtic Heritage Society September, 2016
    Northern Arizona Celtic Heritage Society September, 2016 Moran Taing Many thanks to Richard McKenzie and Marsha McIntosh for helping out at our table for the Children's Music & Arts Festival. We all had a good time making magic bean tambourines and musical bones! Celtic Music in America Irish, Scottish and Welsh music have long been a major part of American music, at least as far back as the 18th century. Beginning in the 1960s, performers like the Clancy Brothers became stars in the Irish music scene, which dates back to at least the colonial era, when many Irish immigrants arrived. These included many Scots-Irish Presbyterians, whose music was most "closely related to a Lowland Scottish style" [1]. The most significant impact of Celtic music on American styles, however, is undoubtedly that on the evolution of country music, a style which blends Anglo-Celtic traditions with "sacred hymns and African American spirituals". Country music's roots come from "Americanized interpretations of English, Scottish and Scots-Irish traditional music, shaped by African American rhythms, and containing vestiges of (19th century) popular song, especially (minstrel songs)" [2]. This fusion of Anglo-Celtic and African elements "usually consisted of unaccompanied solo vocals sung in a high-pitched nasal voice, the lyrics set to simple melodies (and using) ornamentation to embellish the melody"; this style bears some similarities to the traditional song form of Sean Nós, which is similarly highly ornamented and unaccompanied [3]. Celtic-Americans have also been influential in the creation of Celtic fusion, a set of genres which combine traditional Celtic music with contemporary influences.

  • 0902 Presskit Pubside Down
    Pubside Down - Celtic Rock Music Pubside Down are a folk rock band from Lucerne, Switzerland. Their name indicates that their music is somewhat twisted and unusual. It’s folksy Pub music. Yet, Pubside Down literally turn the traditional way of playing Celtic Folk upside down Barbara Marti Edith Gut by blending traditional Irish and Scottish tunes with contemporary musical styles such as pop, rock, or even punk, metal, reggae and Latin. It’s fun and energetic Celtic fusion. Consequently, their line-up resembles one of a rock band. Using a full drum kit, electric guitar and bass, Oli Meyer Gregi Obrist alongside with acoustic instruments such as fiddle, flute, rhythm guitar and percussion, they achieve a catchy, yet authentic sound. Since its inception in 2002, Pubside Down have published three albums and played more than 100 shows (see below). The witty arrangements, their skillful Geri Halder Adi Bucher performance and a great deal of fun have attracted the attention of listeners all over the world and made Pubside Down an insiders’ tip not only among Irish folk fans. Contact In 2009 Pubside Down are on tour with their new album “The Irish Do” and happily share their kick ass celtic Christian Schwotzer folk with even more listeners. Their albums are Voltastrasse 32 available worldwide on iTunes and CDBaby.com.
