Tannahill Weavers
"Live & in Session" 2007
(recorded in 2005-2006)
The Tannahill Weavers are one of Scotland's premier traditional bands. Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals, topical songs, and original ballads and lullabies. Their music demonstrates to old and young alike the rich and varied musical heritage of the Celtic people. These versatile musicians have received worldwide accolades consistently over the years for their exuberant performances and outstanding recording efforts that seemingly can't get better...yet continue to do just that.
Combining live recordings of favorites from their 2005 US tour and studio recordings of new material recorded in 2006, the Tannahill Weavers bring forth their first release on Nashville-based Compass Records, Live And In Session. Weaving together tight harmonies and powerful, inventive arrangements, the Tannahill Weavers once again prove their ability to win fans from within and far beyond the folk and Celtic music scenes.
Born of a session in Paisley, Scotland and named for the town's historic weaving industry and local poet laureate Robert Tannahill, the group has made an international name for its special brand of Scottish music, blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms. Over the years the Tannies have been trailblazers for Scottish music, and their tight harmonies and powerful, inventive arrangements have won them fans from beyond the folk and Celtic music scenes. They are firmly established as one of the premier groups on the concert stage; from reflective ballads to footstomping reels and jigs, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits.

嬉しいですね。私は何年もTannahill Weaversの音楽を聞いています。昔、彼らがThe Black Princeというものすごく長い歌を歌うのを聞いたけど、なかなかCDで出てこないですね。その歌がまた聞きたいですね。
Has anybody ever heard the Tannahill Weavers sing a very long Scottish ballad called the Black Prince? I've been waiting many years for them to record it, after hearing it performed at The Hudson River Revival back in the 1970s.
Wonderful post ! ThanX A LOT !!!!
