Winter's Day

---

We are very excited to bring you Winter's Day, a Celtic celebration of winter and the holiday season. Although many of the tunes on this CD are associated with Christmas, some evoke other, older traditions, which were present in the Celtic nations before the coming of Christianity. In any case, the music is everything you expect from us - exquisite heartfelt airs, high energy jigs and reels that rock the house, and a few exotic surprises, We bet you'll enjoy this CD all year 'round!
