Aye, from Cape Breton Nova Scotia which is basically a piece of Ireland that drifted across the Atlantic to its present location off the Canadian east coast.

Lorenna Mckinnett is Canadian as well, from Winterpeg if I remember correctly...

See we Canadians do contribute more than natural resources, we have given the world a lot of great singers and comedians as well.

They do a great job with Carol of the Bells and O Holy Night (I haven't listened to anything else yet).

If a festive Irish song about Christmas can't raise the spirits in a room, that room has no hope :)

A Newfie song:

They're Irish.

It is my personal opinion that the Irish (in general) were gifted with a great musical and lyrical talent. And I admit I'm biased :)

I like all the references to "Off to Midnight Mass we go", and how "Father John, before he's gone, will bless the house and all..."

I can see how WASP Americans often got Irish and Catholic mixed up :)

Thank you very much for sharing these, Matthew. They're wonderful!

I've only heard their Carol of the Bells and Christmas in Killarney, and I had to type this message -- its great stuff, no question.

I have some friends who have Irish music every weekend for their children, and everyone plays an instrument. They have great weekends! Keeps the kids out of trouble and makes a home a place of refuge from the cruel world.

And it builds a Catholic culture, at the same time.
