Description
In cooperation with Corridor Films (Nashville) and Putamayo World Music (New York), Fox Music Books (a division of Quarry Press Inc) presents a new edition of the bestselling book + documentary + recording package, Celtic Tides.
Celtic Tides tells the story of the oongoing world-wide renaissance of traditional Celtic music through extensive and exclusive interviews with the most influential artists. First published 15 years ago and out of print for a decade, Celtic Tides remains in demand. In this new edition, another 10 artists are profiled and the discography and guides to Celtic festivals, historic sites, museums and pubs throughout the Western world are updated.
Simultaneously, Putamayo World Music will be re-releasing the companion CD Celtic Tides, and Corridor will edit the documentary for a home entertainment DVD and downloadable file at the Fox Music/Quarry Press web site.
