After the Enya era.

[lhatkins]

Hi
Well my music knowledge and collection isn't vast but I was thinking the other day about the music Enya made ( I have most of her albums) and wondering if anyone has followed in her footsteps, I know its not popular "chart" music, so I don't get to hear much about this, but anyone know of other Haunting, celtic music along these lines worth a listen? I have a couple of Clannad Albums and I've heard Secret Garden.

Thanks.

A good place to start might possibly be the albums by Enya's fellow Clannad member, Maire Brennan. I can't recommend one as I've not actually heard any, but a quick look on Amazon shows some of them really cheap through the Used & New option.

Try following their links in the similar artist and styles sections. Anyway hope this might be of some help.

Cheers Ian, good idea.

Now that is great, that will keep me busy for a while, see how Exeter's library copes with finding these!

Thanks for your help.

Isn't the internet great!

Buy yourself a chocolate teapot at the same time as doing so. You'll find it more useful than the library! If they have got it, chances are it'll be scratched. Those card sleeves they keep everything in really aren't condusive to keeping CDs in good condiiton!

well, not too sure about bands that have followed enya - but what about bands thaty Enya is influenced from..? - i.e the coctueau twins...their best album has to be 'victorialand.
