Video - Star of the County Down

Welcome back, we're glad you're here!

I love this. Absolutely brilliant. If you don’t agree, then go away. Awesome to see Celtic music being spread to and through a younger generation.

Slainte,
Mike

    At such young age, they are really amazing. Thanks for sharing this. I’m sure they’ll go a long way on their music careers.

    These kids are amazing! It’s so nice to see that there are still kids inclined towards music. Most kids nowadays are, well, more into gaming, etc. Nice vid! :)

    Nice video. I love this type of music! Growing up with Irish and Scottish music was a great way to grow up.

  5. Haspel Says:

    How great, kids need to be exposed to more of this type of thing.. Music is great for them.

    By the way i found your blog after visiting: http://sezwho.com/support/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5531
    I am having the same issue with my blog and SezWho… It just shows javascript;(void); when I try to click on your rating stars and then nothing happens. Hrm…

    I am very surprised at how much I liked that. Good post. I still can’t believe I liked it. Sheesh. You are like a wizard.

    That was good, man.

  8. Mike Says:

    Wow, thanks all!

    @ Lee - Where did you grow up that you were exposed to Irish & Scottish music so much? I only really developed a love for it as a late teenager.

    @ Acadia - You know, I had sort of the same reaction to the video at first. I was trolling YouTube (where obviously all these video posts come from) and I almost skipped it entirely, because of the two kids on the screen. I’m glad I stopped and watched it. It is surprisingly entertaining.

    you’re “go away if you don’t like the music” bit made me click on the link. i was choral conductor before and i can sincerely say those two (voices) were well-blended and balanced. i care for music… any kind or type.

    @ desperateblogger - my brilliantly witty and sarcastic writing style strikes again. LoL Yay me.

  14. fragileheart Says:

  15. Mike Says:

    @ Jane - Thanks, glad you liked it that much!

    @ fragileheart - You’re very welcome. Just trying to bring a little more happy into the world. :)

    I love it! I love seeing kids making music. These girls were very good.

    ‘Nother stumble for you.

  17. Sabra Says:

    This is so awesome! It really is great to hear the youngins bringing out our roots. We all forget so frequently where we come from…

    Also, for your digg buttons on your home page, check out this post. It contains the actual code to use individual urls for each digg button so they appear on your home page as they would for each individual post.

  19. Mike Says:

    @ Sabra - Thanks for the tip. Those buttons never get used anyway, so I’m thinking about dropping them, or maybe just leaving them on the individual post, anyway.

    Slainte,

    I just discovered the site through Entrecard and got real excited! I’m glad there are folks out there dedicated to Celtic music as it’s been a big part of my life ever since I discovered it in my teens. I wish I had someone raising me on all the lovely traditional arrangements like these two obviously were.

    These girls have some talent! They sound wonderful together! Thanks for sharing and expect to see me hanging around. :)
