Celtic Rock, anyone?
Patrick:
I've totally met Leif Sorbye on numerous occasions. He used to play with the New Age/folk outfit Golden Bough, who I've seen and interacted with at least 20 times (Paul Espinoza lets me play his guitars every time I go to one of their performances). It's not exactly rock, but Golden Bough have done some pretty amazing things. They have a fantastic Christmas album, and they also have an album with music that celebrates pre-Christian Celtic winter traditions and holidays. I listen to it every year during the holiday season.
Now, before you ignore this post, I want you to pay close attention to the following image:
Got your attention? These dudes call themselves the Wicked Tinkers. Fucking awesome motherfuck rad dudes. And a hell of a live act.

Ah, Golden Bough. They used to come to the Celtic Games here in Phoenix, and I bought CDs from them every time. My daughter had a vinyl of Boatman's Daughter, and when I asked for it, they said that they had not brought one with them, so I ordered it from them. (This was before the internet, guys). I told them I needed a CD because I had worn out my copy. Margie Butler was at their booth. She said "Tape?" I said "Vinyl." She said, "You've been a fan for a loooong time." And I have.

Man, so many stories about them. They came to my elementary school because my mom, who was PTA president at the time, decided "Hey wouldn't it be awesome for the kids to see something this rad?" So my mom got in contact with the group, PTA had held fundraisers specifically to pay for such Rad Things, and bam, Golden Bough came to my school. Totally got to chill with them after the assembly was over. Got a hug from Margie :D I still like to go up and hug her when I see her, she recognizes me every time.
BeoPuppy:
Is saying 'Cruachan, go listen!' in this thread okay or am I thinking of the wrong genre then?
celticgeek:
It's okay with me.
