When well-known Scottish Gaelic singer Mary Ann Kennedy was asked to put together a 3 CD collection of the best of Celtic music, she knew she didn’t want to follow the usual format. Instead, she decided to put together three discs under three great titles: Lasair (Sparks), Teine Geal (Bright Fire) and Braidseal (Beacons). Lasair presents the icons of Celtic music, the original sparks that set the Celtic world aflame, Teine Geal the brightest burning contemporary acts, classic artists and major names asserting their Celtic roots and Braidseal, groups who are mixing influences, breaking down boundaries and crossing borders. Listening to a wide selection of all recorded Manx bands sent to her by the Manx Music Development Officer, Mary Ann chose two tracks - Arrane Sooree by Brian Stowell (from the 1973 LP Arraneyn Beeal-arrish Vannin) and King Chiaullee’s (from Nish!). The 3CD set is very attractively priced at £8.99 and can be bought online here: www.musicscotland.com/cd/Beginner-S-Guide-To-Celtic.html
