Fiddle/ Pipes wanted for English/Celtic Folk-Rock Band

Westfield NJ

Description

New English/Celtic Folk-Rock Band is looking for a talented fiddle player, accordian/concertina and piper to play reels, dances and traditional ballads with modern interpretations. We'll cover the best of Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Fotheringay and other similar music. Also interested in Celtic; Irish & Scottish bands such as Planxty, Silly Wizard, Clannad, De Dannan, Altan and others who blend modern rock with traditional folk music. Ideally, you should appreciate the energy of the Pogues and the sublety of Richard Thompson's From Galway to Graceland. Join other musicians who have a good ear and appreciate the classic ballads that change rhythm and morph into reels or dance tunes. [Like Planxty's Raggle Taggle Gypsy into Tabhair Dom Do Lamh; or Fairport Convention's Reynardine into Tam Lin; or Matty Groves & its ending.] A mixture of ages and musical perspectives would help shape the band into a diverse mixture of musical styles. Send a note describing your background if you are interested.
