I liked Riverdance long ago when it was on PBS every half hour, and I
particularly liked Davey Spillane's song he played (Caoineadh Cu Chulainn,
also seen as "Lament" - don't know if that's the translation?).

I finally got a copy of the song and I really, really like it.

Can anyone recommend other specific songs (by any artist) that have the same
slow, haunting mood and sound?

I love the sound of pipes, but not the fast "jig" type of music (you know
what I mean?). I really like the slower stuff like the song above or the
Braveheart soundtrack.

Any recommendations? Thanks!!

"The Song of Culainn's Dog", probably by Bark.

Howdy dude...

saw your post & thought I'd reccomend IONA.
They are about the coolest "Celtic" band I've heard, though I havn't
actually heard many..

I also tend to really enjoy the "slow airs" I think they're called...
Actually, I have a set of Uilleann pipes coming in April:-)

I'm psyched to play em', got an instructor lined up & everything...

well,
if you can get a hold of "Heaven's Bright Sun" by IONA, it's an awesome
CD.

Merry Christmas to you & yours from Maine!
Rich

The translation is "Lament for Cu Chulainn". =)

There are a couple like that on Paddy Keenan's "Na Keen Affair"
