Thread Name: Accordion/Irish-Bohemian rhapsody!??
Subject: RE: Accordion/Irish-Bohemian rhapsody!??
I am a HUGE fan of Queen as well as Celtic (ESPECIALLY the Thistle and Shamrock) and I thought De Danann's version ruled! When that tin whistle started playing the vocal line it 'sent shivers down my spine'! Also the transcription of Brian May's guitar solo to fiddle was awesome! De Danann is one of my favorite bands, and their Celtic version of "Hey Jude" is just as great as "Hibernian Rhapsody." Personally, I thought it was done masterfully, besides, De Danann said they didn't want anyone to take it too seriously anyway! Lighten up!
