Uisce Beatha - Mystic Of The Baja

A bit more racy than my usual offerings but I dug this 1992 album out yesterday and released i still enjoy Uisce Beatha's take on Celtic music. Uisce Beatha were a Canadian Celtic Folk/Rock band in the 1990s. Formed in London, Ontario, the band consisted of Alan Glen on lead vocals and banjo, John Glen on mandolin and tin whistle, Paul Meadows on fiddle and harp, Damian Morrissy on bass guitar, Doug Watt on guitar and Marty Coles on drums later replaced by ex Gurriers drummer Patrick McLaughlin. The band took its name from uisce beatha, the traditional Irish name for whisky (literally "water of life" in Irish Gaelic). They were sued in 1997 by a Scottish distillery over rights to the band name, and subsequently changed their name to Red. They released one album under that name, but subsequently broke up in 1998.
