It's March, and time for my monthly feature for 5 on Friday -- The Hit Makers.
Once a month I'm going to feature the songs that launched careers. I'll be looking at different musical styles and the groups or singers from those styles who I love the best.
This month, let's look ahead to St. Patrick's Day with some celtic rock. Here in the Maritimes, we have a large cultural impact from what is known as the Celtic Diaspora -- the mass emigration of Irish and Scottish people across the globe. A quarter of all Canadians claim Celtic ancestry, and Nova Scotia is New Scotland, after all.
East Coast Canadian music is filled with celtic rock, and it's the kind of music that always makes me feel like home.
1 - And if Venice is Sinking -- Spirit of the West -- 1993
This band hails from Canada's West Coast, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
2 - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) -- The Proclaimers -- 1993
This duo is from Aulde Scotia -- Scotland.
3 - Fields of Fire -- Big Country -- 1983
Another band hailing from Bonnie Scotland.
4 - When I'm Up (I Can't Get Down) -- Great Big Sea -- 1997
Another Canadian band, this time from the East Coast and what we out here refer to as The Rock -- Newfoundland.
5 - Salty Dog -- Flogging Molly -- 2000
Another West Coast band, this time from -- of all places -- Los Angeles, California.
