CELTIC CHRISTMAS ALBUM
| |
Anita Daly of Daly Communications, has put together a magnificent, eclectic
selection of yuletide cheer featuring original Christmas songs and standards titled:
Together For Christmas: A Contemporary Celtic Christmas Collection
From the rousing opening 'Christmas Day' by Kansas City's own, The Elders, to the
traditional sounds of Cherish the Ladies and The Celtic Tenors; to the booming vocals of Damien
Dempsey to folk heroes, The High Kings, you will be singing along by the second time you play it!
Anita Daly says, "This
album is a labor of love
that I have wanted to do
and on iTunes.

With good wishes and Holiday cheer we hope you'll enjoy ASF's favorite Holiday song by Glasgow duo Raintown:
 | | Still Believe (Love this Time of the Year) Christmas Single by Raintown |
Raintown won two awards at the 2012 'Scottish New Music Awards': 'Folk/Traditional Recording of the Year' & 'Record of the Year'.
"Raintown are just what the UK country scene needs. They are one of the few UK artists whose music can be played seamlessly alongside the big Nashville-produced country hits of today."
