This one in Alkmaar is always really special.

This has just gone viral on tiktok and it isn't surprising. This is Systir, part of the Anúna Collective. Kate Bush, Army Dreamer's in these times could it be more appropriate?

At last Anna Morottaja and I meet in person! Anna features in my film "Songs of the Earth" having it's premiere in 40 minutes time here at The Irish Festival of Oulu and online on YouTube here youtu.be/0HoEUWZixAg - so please join us in 40 minutes

Not really. It's great music. Youveva few bangers in there. I'm no expert on what is fashionable or part of the vibe today, but it seems fresh to me.

Some great harmonies here - loads of open sounds. Touch of Free Design, should be way better known...

These are the powerful voices of M'ANAM, part of the ANÚNA Collective alongside Systir and ANÚNA itself, singers brought together with a vision that binds them across the world. Soloist is Noah Thys in his own arrangement of the 12th century poem by Hildegard of Bingen "O Frondes Virga". M'ANAM

Glad I could help you show everyone what a massive tool you are. ❤️

It's not AI anything. This Spokanki. Think before you leap into fashionable outrage.

Not arranged by Michael - composed for us by him in 1997, so not Traditional Irish either. Ah well... great performance by Spokanki!

Sorry Paul - this is not Traditional anything - it was composed by Michael McGlynn for ourselves and Spokanki are, well, Russian, so not really that Celtic :-)

Haha! Thanks. It is getting a bit of attention recently and always great to see it still has a bit of a kick.

This kicks massive butt!

Rehearsing a cool new song in Irish for our upcoming "Celtic Jouney" concert with Consonare Choral Community with a really cool new song in the Irish language, "The Rising of the Sun" by Michael McGlynn with originally performed by the amazing ANÚNA .

This concert is going to be 🔥

I listened to so much of Anúna's music. And I remain tickled at the places I keep seeing Michael McGlynn and his work (and in this case, his daughter Lauren!) turn up. Bayonetta? Why the heck not! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktvg...
