Thanks for the links. Do any of you have a favourite "celtic" Christmas album? On the top of my list is The Chieftains' "The Bells of Dublin" and non celtic Christmas album is Liona Boyd's "A Guitar for Christmas".

Hi Lorna, we own "the Bells of Dublin", in fact I had to purchase a second copy last year. Our first one had gotten badly scratched. They played a track or two from it on Mael's link earlier this afternooon.

Yes indeed. I had just finished posting when "O the Holly She Bears a Berry" came on. Had to sing along.

I usually listen to the station over at this site
http://www.celticradio.net/

They have several different celtic station ranging from traditional to celtic rock. They use the Live 365 player. The player is free unless you upgrade to a different option. Premium channels are just ones that you pay for because don't run ads for stuff but the ads are few and far between on the free player. The highlander station plays Celtic Christmas music during December and there are givaways on the forum every month. Both Marc Gunn and Simply Scottish have their shows on here.

Terry McDade and the McDades have been doing Candlelight Christmas at the John Walter Museum in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for years. Definitely worth checking out for anyone in that neck of the woods: http://www.edmonton.ca/attractions_r...christmas.aspx

For everybody else, they've got recordings!

YouTube playlists:

Buy tracks and albums from their website... it looks like they are also available for free streaming there, but I haven't checked to see if those are just samples or full songs: http://www.terrymcdade.com/?page_id=48
