Music of the Celtic Harp / The Chieftains

“Produced by head Chieftain Paddy Maloney, The Celtic Harp is essentially a showcase for the very talented harpist Derek Bell. Bell handled all of the arrangements, as well as contributed harpsichord and tiompan to the proceedings. Bell infuses each note with the subtlety and grace of a true master.”

The Celtic Lute / Ronn McFarlane

There are differences grand and small, subtle and great in the many lands originally populated by the Celtic tribes. Distinct nations with different histories will evolve different artistic natures, and this is played out in a joyful noise in our Celtic lands. Ronn McFarlane’s heritage and lifelong interest in Scottish music allows us to walk first (as Neil Munro put it) “song-haunted over the Moors.” (Sono Luminus)
