This paper describes how Ireland drastically improved its economic position through its adoption of what came to be referred to as the Celtic Tiger strategy. Because of the surprisingly striking similarities between Ireland and Guam and the finding that the Celtic Tiger strategy represents nothing but "sensible policies "for enhancing economic growth, we believe that Guam can employ those elements of the Celtic Tiger strategy that worked, and modify those elements that did not. By doing so, Guam can transform itself into the Pacific Tiger.
The popularity of Celtic Woman is unassailable. The tuneful Irish export has been getting a boost from PBS programming for some years now, and it shows. Two previous Memphis gigs were at the Orpheum, but Thursday night it played to adoring fans at a well-attended FedExForum show. There is no arguing the technical excellence of the production. But for an occasional wandering spotlight, the light show was exuberant, the sound was flawless, the Hibernian honeys and their costumes were gorgeous.
George Donaldson may not stand out in a crowd. But lined up on a stage with his fellow Celtic Thunder-bolts - as he will be for a holiday-themed show tonight at the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts - he couldn't be anyone else.
AUBURN -- One of the first questions Troy Barnies asked when he got to Istanbul, Turkey, was where he could find the weight room. The question raised some eyebrows among his teammates and coaches. Professional basketball is big in Turkey, and the country has produced several NBA players (Hedo Turkoglu, Mehmet Okur and former Boston Celtic Semih Erden among them). But in a league that includes carpet and cologne salesmen, strength training isn't a high priority.
I should warn you - I tend to talk in the verbal equivalent of Celtic knot-work," laughs M. Macha NightMare, deftly sweeping crumbs from an outdoor table and, coffee cup in hand, assuming residence of a nearby wrought-iron seat. NightMare has agreed to meet me this morning, at this very crowded Peet's Coffee & Tea near her home in San Rafael, to discuss a few of the primary passions of her professional life. But first, she explains the knot-work remark. "My conversation goes all over the place," she says, smiling, "but, like a Celtic knot, I'm told it usually all comes back to where it started. Neopaganism - and I beg the readers who already know this to pardon the history lesson - is a movement that started in the '30s and '40s, but according to NightMare, didn't really get roll...
I enjoyed Halloween more than I liked Easter, but liked Halloween less than I adored Christmas. It was fun, fun, fun! Though I could understand why the neighborhood drunks would drink Seagram's 7, dance around bonfires made of cardboard boxes and twigs, and howl like werewolves in the loud Halloween night, I wondered about the old ladies dressed as witches and the old men covered in oversized diapers prancing around in houses at midnight, chanting weird songs and engaging in what looked like standup sex. On that night, Druids, Celtic priests, built huge sacred bonfires where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. But around 43 C.E. the Romans conquered most of the Celtic territory and eventually introduced two Roman festivals that combined ...
Summer in Buffalo is one long festival. Just check out this expansive list of events in our area that are happening all the way through Labor Day. Weekly lawn fetes, carnivals and community days keep things close to home for families. Heritage is celebrated not only at the annual Italian Festival, but also at Serbfest, the Polish Harvest, the Swedish Midsummer, as well as Celtic and German-American events. Nearly every county in Western New York is hosting its own fair, too. Even pirates get their own day.
Traditional music of Ireland has a worldwide appeal, and the Chieftains are perhaps its most popular practitioners. The group that began making music together nearly half a century ago will perform March 6 at the Schuster Center as part of Cityfolk's Celtic series. A lot of bands have come and gone, but we're still here," said Paddy Maloney, who formed the Chieftains in 1962 while working as an accountant.
Country rock, acoustic folk, Celtic music and '60s rock have been part of Rick Fannin's musical life since he joined his first high school band Purgatory more than 40 years ago. Until now the bulk of his recorded output has been in the Celtic realm, but that changed with the release of his new solo album, "A Boy in Ohio. The disc collects some of Fannin's favorite cover songs, such as John Hartford's "Gentle on My Mind," "Love Me Two Times" by The Doors and Donovan's "Catch the Wind."
