Alan Stivell-Live in Dublin
Alan Stivell-LiAlan Stivell (born Alan Cochevelou January 6, 1944 in Riom, Auvergne, France) is a Breton and Celtic musician and singer, recording artist and master of the Celtic harp. From the early 1970s he revived global interest in the Celtic (specifically Breton) harp and Celtic music as part of world music.[1] Bagpiper and bombard player, he modernized traditional Breton music and singing in the Breton language. He was for this the precursor of Celtic rock. He is inspired by the union of the Celtic cultures and is a staunch defender of the Breton culture as Eurominority.ve in Dublin

In Dublin is a folk/rock album by Alan Stivell, recorded live at the National Stadium, Dublin, on 26 and 27 November 1974, and originally released in 1975.
The album was produced by Alan Stivell and Peter Rice for Keltia III. It was recorded by Frank Owen on the Island Mobile, and mixed by Howard Kilgour at Island Studios. The original LP release (in the UK, Fontana 9299 547) was cut at Apple Studios, with sleeve photography by Roy Esmonde and Ian Gwenic and design by Alain Batifoulier and Blandine Durand. Packaged with the original LP was a poster drawn by Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick.

Christine Primrose
Christine Primrose has been singing since early childhood, with Gaelic as her first language. She too won the National Mod in 1974, and the Pan Celtic Festival in Killarney in 1978. As a result of the success of Aite Mo Ghaoil, Primrose has toured both Canada and the USA, as well as Europe, taking her voice and Gaelic language to a wide audience. In the new millennium Primrose was teaching Gaelic singing at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig a Gaelic college on the Isle Of Skye.
Released in 1987, this is the second album from the great Gaelic singer Christine Primrose. It was welcomed by her many admirers and, equally importantly, it introduced many more to the living tradition of the Scottish Gael. She endows these songs with a strength and magnificence that communicates at once even if you dont understand a word of Gaelic.

'S Tu Nam Chuimhne ('...and you on my mind') features both unaccompanied and accompanied songs featuring fiddle, harp, saxophone, trumpet, keyboards, whistles, small pipes, with contributions from artists including Alison Kinnaird, Brian McNeill, Duncan MacGillivray, Dick Lee, Alan Reid and Dougie Pincock.

"This is as good an introduction to the living tradition of Scottish Gaelic song as any, the adventurousness of the recording meriting the wider recognition outside the Gaelic heartland that it will surely get."
FOLK ROOTS

" ... sung with such power and simplicity that they transcend both prejudice and language ... a beautifully unhappy record"
