KELPIE From Celtic Roots to New Acoustic Music A Kelpie is a spirit in Scottish mythology who appears at the waterside disguised as a beautiful white horse. Once mounted the unsuspecting rider is taken to the bottom of the loch never to be seen again. In Norway it is the water troll Nøkken who lives in a lake, occasionally surfacing to lure people to their doom. The duo KELPIE, Kerstin Blodig and Ian Melrose, also lure (do they look innocent?) - but into concerts, hoping that after this acoustic experience you'll never be the same again! Touring regularly with the group NORLAND WIND (featuring Thomas Loefke and Padraig and Noel Duggan from CLANNAD), they discovered their mutual attraction towards musical experimentation, letting unusual harmonic textures and rhythms flirt with traditional Celtic and Scandinavian music. When Kerstin's crystal-clear vocals mix with Ian's haunting low whistle they evoke a whole gamut of images, from the serenely majestic Norwegian fjords to the magnificence of the Scottish highlands. These qualities coupled with their virtuoso guitar-playing - Kerstin's groovy plectrum guitar together with Ian's exquisite fingerstyle technique - are the basis of the special Kelpie sound.

26. Dick Gaughan/ Outlaws & Dreamers in Graham Moore’s “Tom Paine’s Bones,” and the freedom of selfsacrifice in “Strong Women Rule Us All,” a lesson in scottish mythology by Brian http://www.appleseedrec.com/dickgaughan/outlaws/

S cottish singer-songwriter-guitarist Dick Gaughan describes , his fifth and latest Appleseed CD, as “a bit of a departure from what I usually get up to in the studio. It’s pretty much just me – voice and guitar – and Brian McNeill on fiddle and concertina on two tracks. I decided I should concentrate on getting the performances and spirit right and go for as ‘live’ a feel as possible.” G aughan’s previous recordings in a 30-year career include those as a member of the Celtic bands The Boys of the Lough, Five Hand Reel and Clan Alba and over a dozen albums as a solo or occasional duo artist. His music has never been accused of slickness or commercialism, and the sparse approach of provides a particularly bracing dose of undiluted Gaughan, one of the world’s most stirring musicians. I n the new CD’s liner notes, Gaughan defines “outlaws” as “those who refuse to conform to society’s conventions and prejudices.” By that definition, the material (and recording method) on could be regarded as a tribute to those outlaws and their quest for personal and universal freedom through activism and self-determination. W hether the songs on the CD are original or interpreted, most carry freedom as their subtext. In the version here of Woody Guthrie’s “

Scottish Talent Shines At Chelsea Craft Fair Scottish jewellers, textile and paper artists, glass designers and silversmiths headed for Chelsea Crafts Fair in October to show the best of Scottish craft at Europe’s finest showcase for contemporary crafts. The Chelsea Crafts Fair, which takes place at Chelsea Town Hall in London during October each year, is a stunning display of established and emerging talent. The Fair is a setter of upcoming trends so it is not surprising that eighteen Scottish makers have been selected to exhibit this year including four first timers. From the Highlands of Scotland glass designer Kim Bramley who lives in Sleat on the Isle of Skye joined Black Isle jeweller and silversmith Eileen Gatt and Dunoon-based woven textile artist Maria Mackellar. Kim and Eileen are both inspired by the environment in which they live. The colours of the sky and sea ebb and flow in Kim’s glass designs while ancient Scottish mythology and customs are preserved within Eileen’s jewellery and silver pieces. Maria creates hand woven scarves inspired by architecture, particularly the positive and negative spaces of the Art Deco period.

30. Samhain Hazel is a sacred tree in Irish and scottish mythology. In Ireland, nine hazel trees grew around the Well of Segais, where the sacred Salmon lived. http://www.druidry.org/obod/festivals/samhain.html

Samhain By Susa Morgan Black (Druid, FSA Scot) The Thinning Veil by Copperlion To the ancient Celts, the year had two "hinges". These were Beltaine (the first of May) and Samhain, (the first of November), which is also the traditional Celtic New Year. And these two days were the most magical, and often frightening times of the whole year. The Celtic people were in superstitious awe of times and places "in between". Holy sites were any border places - the shore between land and water (seas, lakes, and rivers), bridges, boundaries between territories (especially when marked by bodies of water), crossroads, thresholds, etc. Holy times were also border times - twilight and dawn marking the transitions of night and day; Beltaine and Samhain marking the transitions of summer and winter. Read your myths and fairytales - many of the stories occur in such places, and at such times. At Samhain (which corresponds to modern Halloween), time lost all meaning and the past, present, and future were one. The dead, and the denizens of the Other World, walked among the living. It was a time of fairies, ghosts, demons, and witches. Winter itself was the Season of Ghosts, and Samhain is the night of their release from the Underworld. Many people lit bonfires to keep the evil spirits at bay. Often a torch was lit and carried around the boundaries of the home and farm, to protect the property and residents against the spirits throughout the winter.

Andrew; The patron saint of Scotland. Brother of Simon Peter, and fisherman of Capernaum. He became an apostle and tradition says he was martyred in Achaia by being crucified on a decussated or saltire cross. He was said to have given the Pictish army a vision of this cross at the battle of Athelstoneford between King Angus of the Picts and King Athelstan of the Angles. However, it is fairly clear that Andrew was foisted upon Scotland as its patron when the old Celtic and Culdee centers of Dunkeld and Abernethy were superseded by the new bishopric of St. Andrew's. His feast day is 30th November David/Dewi; [NOT MYTH-TRUE] (died 601); The patron of Wales. He was born in Cardiganshire and founded twelve monasteries from Croyland to Penbrokeshire, where the regime was particularly austere, after the celtic fashion. He was nicknamed "Aquaticus" after his habit of only drinking water. Although in Wales he is remembered on March 1st with leeks his symbol is actually the dove.

Scottish Myths and Legends Background Scotland has a rich Celtic History going back over 2,000 years, at a time when superstition was rife and where unusual events were "explained" by stories and inventions which were then passed on by word of mouth. It is therefore not surprising that Scotland has an extensive heritage of myths and legends. There is an introduction to Celtic Mythology and Celtic Folklore Finally, the Encyclopaedia of the Celts contains quotations from many of the historic and legendary events and people. Spirits and Goblins Encyclopedia Mythica is a huge Web site covering many of the myths and legends around the world. With a bit of digging, the specifically Scottish elements within the Folklore section can be uncovered : Black Donald - the devil - who cannot disguise his cloven feet. Boobrie - water-bird of the Scottish Highlands. Brownie - good-natured, invisible brown elves or household goblins. The younger version of the "Girl Guides" in Britain at least, are called "Brownies" for that very reason! Clootie - another Scottish name for the Devil. The name comes from cloot, meaning one division of a cleft hoof.
