Fans of Celtic music rejoice! In the tradition of Ireland's Mary O'Hara, harper and singer Barbary Grant has recorded a delightful collection of Celtic music for children young and old. 'Celtic for Kids' features playful songs from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Harp, flute, fiddle, uilleann pipes (played by Eric Rigler of 'Braveheart' and 'Titanic' fame), cello, dulcimer, piano, and percussion all dance together on the Celtic playground. 'Celtic for Kids' is full of imaginative surprises. The 'Milking Croons' on Track 6 include a field recording of actual milking sounds (courtesy of Valentine the cow). 'Dance to Your Daddy' on Track 15 features a 12-year-old step dancer and Barbary's own year-old twins giggle their way into the Manx 'Washing Song' on Track 3. Several of the tracks are performed in their native languages including songs in Irish, Scots Gaelic, Manx, and Welsh. English lyrics and translations are provided in the liner notes. 'Celtic for Kids'' lively yet gentle spirit will appeal to children of all ages and to the young at heart. Barbary is the mother of three daughters aged seven, two, and two. She performs and teaches music in the San Francisco South Bay where she lives with her family. Her other recordings include 'Brigit's Well' and 'Bonny at Morn'.
