Celtic Favorites

This is RUNA's version of the Kate Rusby song, "Awkward Annie".
The band recorded the song for Shannon's great-grandmother (Grannie Annie) on her 100th birthday.

Awkward Annie

Wolf Blood

This is a medley of two very old Celtic carols, one in Irish Gaelic (Don Oíche Úd i mBeithil) and one in French (Noel Nouvelet).
We wanted to give it a contemporary, rootsy feel.
We hope you enjoy it!
Happy Holidays!
