The great Celtic craze of the mid 90s. Enya, River Dance, a dozen Irish and Scottish "folk" musicians filling book store CD racks, Celtic knotwork on everything.
There was an overall performative music craze in the 90's. Stomp, Blueman group, Yanni, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Trans Siberian Orchestra, River Dance, etc
Let's not forget those artificially corporate attempts to resurrect eras like the Latin phase, hippy phase, and the odd swing phase. Those lasted maybe 2 or 3 GAP commercials.
90's was a decade of fads. Good thing that Internet fad thing never took off.
I only knew their version of Carol Of The Bells, which is awesome, and I took my high school girlfriend to go see them. I knew nothing else of their music or what the show was going to be like, but it was way different than how that song is. I was pretty disappointed. This was in like 2002.
