(5 out of 5 stars)

"`Celtic Roots Festival, Vol. 3 is the third of three DVD's containing engaging live performances by marvelously gifted Celtic musicians and singers gathered in the Canadian town of Goderich. The festivities take place in what appears to be a large restaurant or sorts on a rather small stage beautifully decorated to awaken the Irish muse in all of us. A large Celtic cross, a rock wall, a standing stone or two and an assortment of brush and barren branches create the perfect atmosphere for what we are about to hear.

Contents:
Daybreak: Fast Legs / A Traveller's Tale / Mending Wall
Brian Pickell Band: The Hiccup Jig-Burnt River-Dancing Squirrels / Muriel's Waltz-Sourgrass And Granite / My Father's Desk / Coming Home
Gearoid O'Hallmhurain And Patrick Ourceau: Dumphy's Hornpipe-Chief O'Neil's Favourite / The Old Bush-Spike Island Lassies / I Buried My Wife And Danced On Top Of Her-Will You Come Along With Me? / Miss McClouds-The Lady's Pantalettes
Providence: Dooney Rock-The Fly In The Porter / Smugglin' The Tin / Providence Reel-Roscommon Reel-Fred Finn's / Muiris O'Connleain

Like the previous two DVD's, this is an absolutely wonderful production. The cameras are as close to the performers as possible providing an intimate feel to the evening. You almost feel as though you're on-stage with them, truly a magical listening and viewing experience. Don't forget to buy vol. 1 & 2 as well."
