SEEKING
Band to Join, Other Percussion, Banjo, Mandolin, Fiddle, Bagpipes, Accordion, Electronic Music.ABOUT
Mainly looking for gigs and projects rather than busy full-time bands.
I can sing in Irish and Scottish Gaelic. My main instrument is the Irish bouzouki, but I can get by on most of the other stringed instruments.
Very interested in folk music traditions, like sean nos from Ireland, Gaelic psalm singing from the Hebrides, the Child Ballads, Sacred Harp, and anything weird and old (Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Ancient Greek, Medieval, etc.).
Also into dark alt country roots stuff, ethnic/world electronica, progressive Celtic fusion, and big Celtic rock. Celtic punk is fun but overdone.
