Celtic for Kids CD by Barbary Grant: Story & Kids CDs

Celtic for Kids is a fanciful collection of traditional songs for children young and old. Barbary Grant plays Irish harp and sings playful tunes from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man (several in their native languages). Uilleann pipes, fiddle, flute, concertina, dulcimer, and piano all come together on Barbary's Celtic playground. The sounds of milking, a young Irish step dancer and giggling babies add to the fun. Celtic for Kids' lively but gentle spirit is sure to appeal to the whole family.
