They are a unique arrangement of traditional and contemporary
Scottish, Irish, Canadian Celtic, and original music. They've shared
the stage with Natalie MacMaster, Rawlin's Cross, McGinty, Seven
Nations, and many more. They have two cds right now, their self
titled one was released in the spring of 1996, and there newest one,
Glengarry. There is also supposed to be a new one coming out in
the new year. The band was formed in 1995 by Nelson
MacPherson who plays Button Accordian, and vocals, Neil
Emberg, Acoustic Guitar, Tin whistle, and vocals, Terry O'Farrell,
Electric Bass, Acoustic Guitars, and vocals, and Richard Irwin,
Drum kit, Irish Bodhran, and vocals. The 2 newest members are
Bruce Blaney, Bagpipes, bodhran and vocals, and Brian Flynn
fiddle, madolin, guitars, tin whistle, and vocals. At their concerts they
encourage their audience to join in by clapping, dancing, and
singing along. For more information, you can go here. They have
another site that is being made but I don't have an address for that
yet. Thats all I have for now, so vote for next weeks Canadian
Musician(s) of the week at my e-mail. Cheers! Rayna
