Happy St. Patricks Day! In celebration of this holiday, we give you a wonderful track by one of the most long running and famous groups playing Irish traditional music, Altan. Altan remains the most successful proponents of traditional Gaelic song and Donegal fiddle-playing after over 25 years of playing together.
Today we feature the song "Brid Og Ni Mhaille" off the album Island Angel. This is also known as Bridget O'Malley and is about a man who is left heartbroken by a girl named Bridget which marries another man. It is a popular traditional song, and you can check out another version here as well.
We write from the heart of the largest Gaeltacht in the USA, Boston. And actually, our offices are above an Irish pub here, so don't try and reach us on Friday or Saturday this week, we'll be downstairs listening to a session and drinking a pint.
If you can't get to a session, check out the hundreds of new artists we've added from the Green Linnet label. Wonderful Irish & Celtic and Irish Traditional music. Check the appropriate genre sections and have a blast.
