Hope this is appropriate to post here. I’m not associated with them.
Mary Lou is an older woman who’s been doing this mostly alone for some years. Found a hard-to-find CD, got a hand written note with the order regarding her closing up and browsed for anything that I thought might appeal and ordered a couple more CDs and some music. I think it’s worth supporting such people and such businesses.
She was very prompt and states she will complete all orders made throughout August.
Best wishes to you all, and thank you for such a useful forum.
I received the following email from Ossian USA on 27 November, which indicates that the business is moving ahead under new ‘management.’
Cheers,
Stephen
Hello from Ossian!
It’s been a busy few months since taking over the shop, and I wanted to make an overdue introduction, and let you know of some updates.
Hello! I’m Ruarri, and I’ve taken the reins from Mary Lou as the new owner of Ossian USA. As a fiddle player, my interest is in traditional Irish music, so you can expect more offerings and promotion for artists of that variety. With Ossian, I’m hoping to reach new audiences for traditional music.
If it’s been a while, come over to ossianusa.com and check out the updated website. We’ve got a new look, a reorganized and updated inventory, and new shipping rates. With over 1500 different items, I’m working hard to make sure you can browse with confidence that what’s on our website is in stock and ready to ship!
Lastly, we appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to serving you even better. It’s been a while since you’ve purchased from Ossian, and I wanted to offer 10% off your next order, until the end of the year.
When you use the link below, the discount will automatically be applied at checkout.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Ruarri Serpa, Ossian USA
