James Gilchrist founded the Celtic Folk/Rock/World band Blue Knight in 2002, but Gilchrist has been performing for audiences since 1993. They incorporate a wide range of influences into their music - Celtic and Spanish world styles, modern American and Irish pop/rock, and lyrics inspired by Pre-Raphaelite artists. Blue Knight can be heard in New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and at venues up and down the East coast.

"A Maid In Ninians Day" is a beautiful original Celtic New Age trip with powerful music. The melody sounds very traditional like an old carol that I can't put my finger on... always a good sign. On the download page, you'll get a pre-Raphaelite art piece that I assume was in part an inspiration for the song. For a live recording, it beautifully fits the mood. Simply beautiful!
