Are looking for traditional and non-traditional Celtic wedding music and songs. We will have friends (guitar, mandolin, harmonica, piano) playing for us. Also, can anyone give us any suggestions on places (web as well as non-web) to find Celtic music? We are both part of the McGregor clan. Thanks for all help. Cathy |
