MP3: “Dicey Riley” by Marc Gunn

Posted on by

Kilts.  Cats. Science Fiction. Irish drinking songs. Nowhere else but from the bizarre imagination of Marc Gunn would those four elements be so neatly integrated. Marc Gunn–”The Celtfather”–is an award-winning Celtic folk musician. Armed with an autoharp, he riotously combines Renaissance festival fanaticism with Irish drinking and Sci Fi fandom into a satirical jam session between Weird Al Yankovic, Shane MacGowan and The Clancy Brothers. His shows are spirited fireworks featuring Celtic-style songs about hobbits, cats, kilts, Firefly, Star Wars, … Continue reading →

MP3: “Pass the Tankard, Wench (Gael’s Reel)” By Sylvia Platypus

Sylvia Platypus is Philadelphia’s (and possibly the world’s) only psycho-Celtic glam-blues band. Burn’s supper at the Avalon Ballroom would sound something like this. Take the vocal mannerisms reminiscent of Edith Piaf and John Lee Hooker and combine them with a stage presence that is equal parts James Brown and Judy Garland, and you have some idea of Janet Bressler’s lead-singer style . Add the soul-searing Waddy Wachtel-meets-Brian May guitar work of Bill Barone (formerly of the ’70′s era German symphonic rock … Continue reading →

MP3: “Drill Ye Tarrier, Drill” By Trip McCool

“Trip McCool” is my slightly altered ego. He is the man I try to be, or would like to be. It all relates to a revelation I had. I, Dennis Dougherty was standing on county lane in Donegal, Ireland staring at an old cottage. It was only two rooms separated by a wall with a fireplace in it. The roof was gone, the windows broken and the wood frames rotted away. Trees and bushes overgrew the little building…no longer needed. … Continue reading →

MP3: “Orders” by Shillaly Brothers

Out of Manhattan Beach, California comes The Shillaly Brothers. They are a band of Americans of Irish descent playing music inspired from our ancestors.

These days they are a four-man-band, with accordion, mandolin, Irish bouzouki, guitar, penny whistle, and of course the only band we know of in the genre with a lead Ukulele player! This gives a nice combination of American … Continue reading →
