G Celtic Folk Rock Band originally formed in 1989 & disbanded in 1997. The current line up was reformed in 2019 by original fiddler & frontman Chris. The band plays folk rock predominantly in Celtic style with some traditional songs & tunes from Ireland & Scotland + a few self-composed & other folk songs. We have been likened to Horslips, Thin Lizzy, Moving Heart & more.
Lineup:
Chris - vocals, fiddle.
Geoff - electric guitars, keyboards & programming.
Sam - bass & backing vocals.
Jim on drums, sampled percussion & backing vocals.
Based in Pontefract, West Yorkshire
We do not in general do covers, so the material is essentially original albeit many songs are traditional with our unique arrangement.
Typical examples being: Down to Old Maui, Ordinary Man, Back Home in Derry, Maid of Coolmore. Plus numerous jigs, reels etc such as Maid Behind the Bar, Sligo Maid etc
Require mains power.
Arrival: at least 1 hour, preferably 90 minutes before the performance
Set up / pack down: about an hour comfortably at most to set up, including a sound check & about 20 mins to take down. If we are using our regular soundman/PA settings are saved in a digital desk.
We have this far spent the last few years doing some pub gigs, but since becoming winners of the Introducing stage at the Great British Folk festival in Jan 2023 we are now mainly playing in small theatres, arts centres & at folk & music festivals
