The Foggy Dew

Those who sacrificed everything on Easter Monday, 1916 were forever remembered by Canon Charles O’Neill.

Zu Weihnachten 1914 gab es den "Weihnachtsfrieden (Erster Weltkrieg)", eine "nicht autorisierte Waffenruhe ... zwischen Deutschen und Briten in Flandern ...".

Es war ein kleines Weihnachtswunder, das in den nachfolgenden Jahren auch besungen wurde.

Hier zB die Version von "Celtic Thunder - Christmas 1915" (warum es nicht, historisch passend, "Christmas 1914" heißt, ob sich "fifteen" passender singen lässt?)

Traurig und dennoch auch irgendwie schön!

Musical Interlude: Long ago, here in Baltimore we had a charming Irish band called Celtic Thunder. They disbanded in the 90s and the name has since been appropriated by what I regard as an overly-slick stadium-oriented band that I just disdain. But the OLD Celtic Thunder was lovely stuff, good down-n-dirty folk that you'd hear at the local pub. Here's a lovely track.

"Oft in the Stilly Night," performed by Celtic Thunder.

Celtic Thunder brews Irish magic with Ed Sheeran Hit

Celtic Thunder's rendition of "Castle On The Hill" brings a touch of Irish charm to Ed Sheeran's hit song. The lads put their own spin on it, infusing it with their signature harmonies and Celtic flair. Their live performance from Dublin in 2017 really captures the energy and spirit of the original while making it
