[Cro Dreoilin] Celtic Artists

[Greyhart]

Ok, what is Irish banjo? 

 

I'm familiar with 5 string and Tenor banjo as played in Bluegrass, which has
its roots in Celtic folk music. I grew up playing lots of reels and jigs
with my dad.

Being in the local Celtic music scene, I am around so many brilliant
musicians who aren't big names that I'd prefer to listen to a good Irish
music session at a pub than a concert with a big name.

I lately have been partial to the Dervish CD we bought though.  My banjo
teacher also introduced me to the Irish banjo music of Angelina Carberry who
is one of the current masters.  I have all of her CD's (but being a beginner
banjo player, I am partial to Irish banjo).

If you want to sample the local scene, go to http://www.thesession.org and
search for local sessions.  I do know that Jessie Burns from Gaelic Storm
does play in the Boulder session once in a very blue moon.

Personally, I like Gaelic Storm, Lunasa and Shooglenifty.
