Hi,
I'm a newer ETH fan, and found this link on their website. I haven't seen them live yet! If all goes well (with the parents...) I will see them at the Irish2000 Music and Arts fest this year. Is anyone else going to that?

I was looking for other music similar to ETH, and only found a couple, does anyone know of any?

Thanks!

I *so* wish I was going to that festival. I think every one of my favorite Celtic-y bands is playing there that weekend. :( Unfortunately, I just don't see any way to work it. *sigh*

If you're looking for Celtic Rock, I'd suggest Great Big Sea, The Young Dubliners, The Sandcarvers, and Greenwich Meantime.

If you're looking for more traditional Celtic-y, with music that makes you want to dance around, but isn't really *rock*, per se... I'd suggest Gaelic Storm.

You can find links to all these bands if you go to my journal. :) (i'm too lazy to work out the links for the comment at the moment. work is eating my brain.)

Thanks

Thanks for suggesting those bands, I do prefer the more 'rock'-ish music, and I should have mentioned that...

Yay, more Haggis Heads! Unfortunatly, I cannot help you with anything. I just wanted to say welcome, and I hope to see you on the talkboard on the website!! I'm rosin_dust over there.

I like your screen-name on the talkboard! I play viola... but I'm not creative enough to think of any good screen-names...

Hey there, La! Good to meet you.

I'll be at the festival, or should do. Should be a fair bit of fun, hanging out with other haggis heads! Are you from around the area, or are you trekking in from far away?

Bands you want to look in to include:
The Blood Irish Boys
Dropkick Murphys (odds on that you know them)
Fiddlers Green
The Mahones
The Pogues
Young Dubliners
Black 47

That'll start you off, no?
