I like The Corrs very much, but Andrea has some of her most beautiful songs sung in Gaelic on their last album. Great voice, great performing on stage (Corrs only and always live), great language, great music.

Being a Canadian it often feels as if I'm cultureless. Its like my country is an immigrant truck stop where we're all just trying to have a nice piece of pie. So I look back to my heritage and take some weird fetish in imagining Scotland. I want to buy a kilt in McIntosh tartan and move to Scotland, drink powerful blinding scotch and grow a shaggy beard. Maybe even run at a Frenchman naked swinging a broadsword.:p At the very lest I'm going to learn some Gaelic. I guess I'll start with the Corrs.:rotfl:
The west coast of canada is about as culturally alive as a dry graham cracker.
