One of the things we all love about the Ute scene is that it's not infected with that Big Buck mentality which seems to permeate most other realms of modern life.

I like Gaelic stuff - I have Karen Matheson sing me to sleep every night. She's got the sweetest voice in all the world, I think. I don't understand a word of it (it's in Gaelic) but it's almost like magic to me.

The band that I heard by accident and got me into Celtic/Gaelic music is Clandestine. I found them by accident on mp3.com, by coincidence the same week they were appearing in Philadelphia.

I enjoyed them for 3 years until they broke up last year.

I love some of the Celtic female singers out there. Niamh Parsons is very good.

Clandestine has a song called Miner's Lullaby which is very soothing. It depicts the use of morphine suicide kits by miners in case of cave-in. I don't if it's historically true, but it's a very beautiful song, in a disturbing way.

Cannonball is an anti-war song with a great drumbeat.

Sun, most of the pictures are of what I understood a ute to be but the first one, of the stake body pick-up, puzzles me. Is that considered a ute also?

[Sun_Sparkz]

yes most definately the first one is a ute, its the same Ute my mum drives, minus a few elaborative signs.

I'm not sure what a pick up is.. but i am assuming its a tow truck?

there are different types of Utes: one tonners, feral utes, 4wheel drive utes (the 1st one), dual cab Utes and then normal front wheel drive two seater Utes.

[xoxoxoBruce]

OK then, What we call pick-up trucks, you call utes, also. I thought the utes were only the the trucks that were made on car chassis and used much of the car bodies, except for the open bed, like the Holden. Evidently that term has been expanded to include any small (1 ton and under) trucks. My bad.

A little off topic, but I heard this (from the performer) at a celtic/gaelic concert:

"For a short time, I played Country, and I realized that Celtic and Country are the same music, just a different whiskey."

[Sun_Sparkz]

Havent really ever had a chance to listen to Celtic music.

would Evenescence be celtic? Im not sure.

[Torrere]

No.

I'm not sure if I have any such music, myself.

"The Wind that Shakes the Barley" by Dead Can Dance might be the closest that I have.

This is the first of emusics Celtic pages. Solas is my personal favorite, Seamus Egan and Karan Casey are spectacular talents. Celtic can be hit or miss running from lame Americanized drunk and rebel songs all the way past New Age stuff like Clannad. But in between there are wonderful bands like Cherish the Lady, which tend to be acoustic instrument driven with the fiddle out front where it belongs.

I feel so enlightened! Thanks, Sparkz. I was still on the Brooklynese 'youth' frame of mind, too.

If you want a taste of Celtic music - www.Accuradio.com has a celtic station in which you can choose different types - traditional, Celtic rock, female or male artists, or progressive.

Take a listen.
