Best of Celtic Ballads

There is nothing as moving as an Irish ballad. Whether in good times or bad the Irish always have a song to sing and a story to tell. These traditional ballads cover a multitude of subjects but together they portray the emotions and aspirations of a nation. The completely authentic group performing these unique and beautiful ballads is Boann's Clann! Here's a story/the background of their name:

Boann (or Boand) is the Irish mythology goddess of the River Boyne, a river in Leinster, Ireland. According to the Lebor Gabála Érenn she was the daughter of Delbáeth, son of Elada, of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Her husband is variously Nechtan, Elcmar or Nuada. Her lover is the Dagda, by whom she had her son, Aengus. In order to hide their affair, the Dagda made the sun stand still for nine months; therefore, Aengus was conceived, gestated and born in one day.
