This incredible, yet
underated songwriter from North Dublin is without
doubt one of the most amazing talents on the Celtic
scene. His albums in their entirety are all pure class.

Play 'Bottles'
MP3 by Kieran Halpin |

Albums that we
constantly feature on No Celtic Boundaries. The amazing
fusion of Celtic sounds and the rhythm of African Drums.
Enjoy it on your home sound system, but turn the volume
up, or even better go and see them for a night you will
not forget. Sheer Power with driving sounds that will
leave you screaming for more. Awesome !!!!!!!

A Fantastic double
album from this incredibly talented gentleman who I
had the pleasure of talking to during the course of
a No Celtic Boundaries Interview. He represented Ireland
in 2006 at the Eurovision Song Competition. Yet again,
all of Brians Material is without fault.

Marc
Roberts (Once in your Life) |
|
|
I was introduced to the music of Marc
Roberts by that unbelievable Irish Drummer and good
friend, Rod Quinn, and was I glad of that. Yet again
another Irish man who produces incredible material
from his current album to his earlier recordings
|
|

|
Duncan
Chisholm (Redpoint), (Door of Saints), (A Long December
Night) with Ivan Drever. |
|
|
It is very rare to find a fiddle player
that plays with so much passion and emotion. Absolutely
incredible. Grab his CDs Door of Saints and Redpoint.
His music is sheer class and a joy to listen to.In
the Album, (A Long December Night),both Ivan Drever
and Duncan have created a masterpiece.

Davy
Spillane (Pipedreams) |
|
|
Davy Spillane is one of the finest Irish Pipers I have
come across. His album 'Pipedreams' rates very highly
with No Celtic Boundaries as we have used exerts from
'Midnight Walker' as the opening sequence to No Celtic
Boundaies for nearly two years. While Pipedreams is
a relatively old album it still typifies the quality
of this extraordinary Piper. A great selection of albums
from this amazing Piper.

Gregor
Lowrey & Stevie Gillies. (The Game's a Bogey) |
|
|
If you want to
combine unbelievable talent with fun and humour,
look no further. Who in their right mind could actually
convince Nick Nairn (World Renowned Chef ) to feature
on this album in 'Nick Nairns' Breakfast slot' on
the subject of the perfect way to cook an egg. Gregor
Lowrey rates as one the finest accordion players
ever to come from Scotland. His taste in music is
so wide and varied a Ceilidh can become something
special with a bit of Blues, Rock and Roll, Swing
and even classical waltzes thrown in.

An amazing album that in its title reflects upon a response
to Burns' classic love song Ae Fond Kiss. When Burns and
Nancy (Clarinda) parted in 1791 Burns sent her his classic
Love song, In Clarinda's reply Kevin tries to imagine
how Clarinda might have responded
