Live! Folklife Concert: Barrule (The Laxey Reels)

Barrule brings the unique sound of traditional Manx music from the Isle of Man across the Atlantic. While sharing common ground with its Celtic cousins, Manx music has retained its own particular sound that evokes the natural beauty of the island and the lives of its inhabitants. The award-winning trio performs a diverse collection of material: from rousing marches, jigs and reels to sorrowful slow airs and beautiful songs of unrequited love and the toils of island life sung in English and the Manx Gaelic language, not often heard in the States. Jamie Smith (accordion), Tomas Callister (fiddle), and Adam Rhodes (bouzouki) are called “Players of conviction and passion” -The Scotsman.

Having been it the newspaper business as a lad, I know that every word costs money. So, while that bit from "The Scotsman" was quite good, an edit should be made to read, "...the natural beauty of the island and its inhabitants." Oh, and good performance, too, gents!
