[rec.music.gaffa] Macalla

caroleeh@UUNET.UU.NET (millimillenary) (03/22/90)

in chris'n'vickie's posting of the Celtic-band play list, there was an error in the description of Macalla.  Macalla is an Irish band made up of four men and 
one woman, not a large group of women as posted.  I believe that they are all
brothers and sisters; the woman in the band is Enya's sister Maire, and Enya 
appeared on their first two or three albums.

their music has gone from entirely traditional to a more pop/rock sound, but
the music is GREAT and they still do a number of songs sung in traditional 
Irish.

I have no idea whether or not there is a band called Macalla or not, but the
group you've described above is Clannad, which had an album in `85 (I think)
titled "Macalla."  Perhaps chris`n`vickie would care to confirm/deny whether
she (they? :-) had the correct group?
