Swedish/Irish band

[chrisp]

Hi all

Dag Westling and Quilty from Sweden have been playing traditional irish music for some years now and have produced two cd's.
Dag himself plays Whistle, 5 string banjo, guitar and vocals

The band Eitre is another of Dag's ventures and i think these guys are a pretty polished act.

Click on their site and hear some sound samples. I bought all three cd's, well worth the money.

What do you think? http://www.quiltymusic.com/index.asp?lang=en

Eitre is great and Marco Pollier is brilliant, exceptional reg playing.

Here are a few more for you Chris

Bordun is another band with a mixture of Swedish and Irish traditional music that is hard to resist. Ralf Nyrén is a young and very talented uilleann piper with a tight and crisp style of playing. I recently had the opportunity to catch him up close and I was very impressed.

ITM/Celtic pop seems to be as big here in Sweden as Country music is in Ireland
