Sylvain,
Unfortunately I cant tell if both music styles are similar. I just know this one Galician tune to play and I have some CDs from Galicia, but I am no Celtic expert I love the celtic songs (not necessarily the Celtic dance music like jigsnreels. I highly appreciate the virtuosity of the musicians who play in high speed, but on the long hand this kind of music tends boring me. So Jez Lowe and Jake Walton are from my point of view more Celtic influenced, but more singer- songwriters. I much enjoy Celtic groups like Planxty, Silly Wizard, etc etc upt to the modern groups (if you allow me to subsume the English, Scottish and Irish groups as *Celtcic*) if they blend songs with some instrumentals. But, as I said, I would not feel able to judge if Celtic and Galician music is similar. But I highly recommend to buy Two à Roue, since I quote Jake as one of the best although under-estimated hurdy-gurdy-players. He has a very delicate sound and a very sublte way of using the trumpet string. The mentioned CD shows that the Galician tunes fit perfectly to the Celtic influenced songs. And the songs of Jez and Jake are simply outstanding. Thanks to all listening to our music. All the best, Uli _____ Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von sylvain gagnon mini moteur 2000 inc Gesendet: Montag, 24.

Yesterday I uploaded two tunes and a song made in a home recording with my hobby band to the open mic section of Folk Alley (a great folk music internet radio station).
