by Damh the Bard
Damh is a modern-day Bard whose
spirituality, and love of folk tradition is expressed through his
music, storytelling and poetry. Drawing on the Bardic traditions
his performances are both entertaining and educational, weaving a
tapestry of myth, peace, and anthems that speak directly to the
heart, but never without a good splash of humour.
You can find his music on iTunes, or from his website, Pagan Music. He is also the voice behind Druidcast, the official podcast of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (OBOD, for short) - modern day Druids. You can find out more details about Damh on his Contributor Page on our website.
Sloinntireachd Bhride - The Genealogy of Bride
by Alexander Carmichael
An excerpt from the wonderful Carmina Gadelica, Hymns and Incantations, Ortha Nan Gaidheal, Volume I by Alexander Carmichael [1900] concerning the customs of St. Brigit and the old Celtic Goddess Bride. We start with the story of St. Brigit being Mary of the Gael, or Mary's midwife. The original can be read at Sacred Texts.
by Spiral Dance
Multi-award winning group Spiral Dance, based in Adelaide, has been playing rousing, high-energy music to enthusiastic audiences throughout Australia and beyond for over a decade. With a combination of haunting vocals, evocative fiddle, intoxicating guitar riffs and groovy accordion lines, underpinned with potent bass and dynamic percussion, the band presents an eclectic blend of traditional folk-rock with powerful self-penned songs and tunes. Enchanting melodies intertwine with mythical tales that are sure to captivate your soul, tease your mind and steal your heart, casting your spirit into the realms of magic and the mists of ancient time.
By Ruthie Colcombe
A mixture of inspiration and verbal imagery from all over the Interwebs, this is our dedication to the Brigit, Bride - the Maiden of Spring.
by Scott Hoye
Scott plays traditional and original tunes played on Celtic harp, vocals, and other instruments. Pulling from traditional sources of Irish, Scottish and other folks music, while mixing them together with contemporary sounds to create a new, sonic brew.
Here he has allowed us to bring you his beautiful medley, Eleanor Plunkett & Fanny Poer, as an accompaniment to Ruthie's poem. Check out his Contributor Page for more of his great music you can hear. We hope to hear a lot more of Scott on the show in the future.

by Jennifer Cutting's Ocean Orchestra
Jennifer Cutting and her Ocean
Orchestra bring us a wonderful warmth to the coming summer, with
their beautiful song, Summer Will Come Round Again. This rousing
Folk track is a brilliant example of the high quality of
foot-stomping music that you can expect from Jenifer and the crew!
Raised on an Hindu Ashram, Jennifer's unique perspective brings us
a celebration of Christian and Pagan Solstice
traditions.

Amergin
by The Dolmen
THE DOLMEN … A Storm has washed over Europe. Every so often, a band comes out of the Celtic heartlands, takes the musical audience by the throat and shakes it hard. And guess what, it’s about to happen again. The ever popular Celtic Folk-Rock scene in the UK has served up a real rough diamond, THE DOLMEN, a gig-hardened bunch of piratical rebel-rousers from the clan-lands, whose music and live performances have become the stuff of tribal legend, being both unique and very addictive. In 2011 they take this raw energy to mainland Europe. We are very proud to bring you one of their powerful, atavistic earlier tracks, Amergin from their album Songs from the Druids of Stonehenge.You can find out more about The Dolmen on their website at The Dolmen or on our Contributor Page.
