I'm just so tired of the manufactured pop stars of today. I'll give a
listen to about any band who not only performs music, but writes and
and/or arranges the music too. I'm Welsh Irish though and have a deep
love of the Celtic music. I'll listen to anything from the traditional
music of the Chieftains to the Celtic pop of the Corrs to the raunchiest
Celtic punk of the Tossers.
BTW, if you use a proggie like Kazaa look for the video of the Corrs live
in Dublin with Bono from U2 doing the old Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazelwood
song Summer Wine. It's nothing short of fantastic. And Andrea Corr is
gorgeous. Just search for videos of the Corrs. It's not a hard one to
find.
