The Spirits of Gilbride is a musical group who formed as a result of a drunk driver incident. New Yorker Christina Brouder was knocked down near her home in the Bronx and seriously injured.〔Cosmopolitan, January 2003, by Allen Salkin〕 This led to a long period in hospital and, to alleviate the boredom and to cheer her up, her visiting siblings, Corina, Cornelia, Neil & Mary Catherine began performing in the ward.〔http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2002/04/15/2002-04-15_world_at_her_feet_career_opt.html Monday, April 15th 2002〕 Word got around and after Christina fully recovered they began to perform together in other local hospitals, nursing homes and eventually at charity events. The children learned to play a variety of musical instruments, including violin, harp, keyboards, drums, fiddle, bagpipes, accordion, tin whistle, and guitar.〔The Viking News, November 19, 2003〕 Corina and Cornelia took care of the vocals. They decided to call themselves the Spirits of Gilbride, Gilbride being the family name of their late grandfather.〔Irish Voice, December 2, 2003, interview by Georgina Brennan.〕 The group made their first album, ''Sibling Revelry'', in 1994,〔Catholic New York, March 9, 1995〕 and in 2001 came Gilbride, released by Universal Music.〔http://www.fordham.edu/images/Whats_New/magazine/353-03w03Alumni_Notes.pdf, "Renaissance Woman Christina Brouder, ICO '98", winter 2003, page 25〕 They also shot two videos to promote the album and recorded the title track for the European release of the 2000 film, ''The Little Vampire''.〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192255/〕 They have performed in venues all over America, including The White House,〔http://clinton6.nara.gov/1995/03/1995-03-17-clintons-host-ireland-celebration-honoring-pm-bruton.html〕 and in Germany, Ireland, Great Britain, Denmark, and Austria.〔Midlands Magazine, June 21, 2005〕 == Discography == * ''Sibling Revelry'' (1994) USA * ''Gilbride'' (2000) Germany, Metronome (Universal) * "Shades of Grey" (2000) Germany, Metronome (Universal) * "I Can't Help Fallin'" (2000) Germany, Metronome (Universal) Additionally The Spirits of Gilbride accompanied Corina Brouder on her singles * "Feel for You" (2004) Brouder * "Another Day" (2004) Brouder Music, Ltd 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Spirits of Gilbride」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
