At Longer Last

Released in late 2005 after years of hearing our fans ask for it, Home with the Homespun Ceilidh Band is the second CD from The Homespun Ceilidh Band. Featuring music from Scotland, Ireland, and Canada, and quite a bit of original music as well.

We think its great! But don't take our word for it. Here's what some of our fans think about the CD.

We love your CD. My husband was so impressed with it that he wants to carry it in his car so that he can listen to it while driving. That is a real compliment! He has some headphones that connect to the CD player, so he has put your CD on tonight, turned up his headphones, closed his eyes, and tuned out the world. Now that is musical art! He just lost himself. This is his very favorite type of music. I am not so sure that I am going to let him put it in the CD carrier in his car. He NEVER returns my CD's and I want to listen to it more also; it's such happy music!

This is indeed foot-stompin' music. It has so much energy and is so cute...

We LOVE the CD! What a wonderful and talented group you have!! If you folks book a show in the Boston area, please let me know so that my family can scoop up tickets... My daughter loves to 'spin' to your music and plays it for all her friends. You have a huge following among the preschool set in Cambridge, Mass - LOL!

Best I've heard!
I've loved Celtic music for a long time but had a hard time finding the lively type I like all in one CD. The Homespun Ceilidh Band: Spinning Reels takes the cake! It's the best I have heard and I plan to pass it on to others.
