The Irish Roses |
| Cathy Blackwood wanted to preserve
the traditonal songs and music she heard when she was a little girl
growing up in Ireland. Together with her daughter, Rachel, and her
daughter's friend, Emily Holland, the Irish Roses sing and play
familiar and sometimes not-so-familiar Celtic compositions with
charm and enthusiasm. Great music for singing along or dancing!
