Ceol Leinn

ALERT: The band has three tunes currently in rotation on Celtic Roots Radio in Belfast North Ireland.

A family friendly band of adults who have children.

The lights dim low and through the low smoke rolling across the stage, a figure steps to the giant Celtic War Drum downstage right. The massive low thunder of the drum awakens everyone to the experience they are about to have. As the rest of the band joins in rhythmic drumming the two pipers start an ancient medley.... and one by one the other instruments join in to an awakening ... first a slow air which evolves into a jig in a minor key, evolving further to a major key jig, and resolving into the minor dominant melody. The performance begins.

Ceol Leinn is Gaelic for "Music With Us." There will be tunes that are dark and moody, and the next moment you'll recognize a tune that your grandmother played on the piano, in the parlor of her house, when you were a child. Before long... there will be a revelation of sorts as you realize where Bluegrass came from.

The unique combination of instruments and musicians in Ceol Leinn provides an entertaining performance to the most jaded. Few people have experienced the pipes up close and personal, much less with the addition of the instruments of a Rock Band.

Ceol Leinn is entertaining; they are dynamic; they are not children making noise over a PA. They are seasoned musicians… and they enjoy what they do.
