The Medusa Fora

anyone else like gaelic storm??

I'm not sure I've heard 'em. Where're they from?

Heard of them, but what do they do, any links?

They're American right? Weren't they the dying band from Titanic?

Yes, they were. They're not too bad, but a bit too slooow for me. There are (were?) a couple of videos / snippets at their site, but it seems to be down now.

Thanks for that I'll have a little listen.

I've got one song of theirs - 'She Was The Prize' - it's pretty good, I like it anyway

I have their "Special Reserve" album. I find them to be boring and inoffensive and flat.

There are a couple of songs/tunes here, but doesn't seem to be working for me for some reason.

Some of them are working now, but others aren't.

I've got their first self-titled album, which is quite good. Highlights from that CD are "The Hills of Connemara," "Jonny Jump Up," and "The Leaving of Liverpool." They have more of a traditional sound, as opposed to the Pogues' trad/punk blend.

they are more of an easy listening type of band
one you would play for old ladies and children
its not the rowdy type of stuff that the Pogues are

Can't say I was a fan, Johnny Jump Up wasnt bad. Bit bland on the whole though.

not the greatest

All in all I'd say that the German Fiddler's Green do the same thing as Gaelic Storm do, only a lot better
