Celtic Beach for Memorial Day #261

My family and I went to the beach. I came back a little redder with desire to hear some Celtic beach music. What would that sound like, especially with Memorial Day approaching. Here's some indie Celtic music from Maggie Sansone, Ciara Considine, The Elders, Allan Yn Y Fan, Karan Casey, Marc Gunn, Eilis Crean, MacTalla Mor, The Whiskey Boys, Linda Marie Smith, Sprag Session, Devils Water, Barleyjuice, Stanley & Grimm.
