Artist description "Some of the most exciting and entertaining Celtic sounds being heard today." -The Independent" . . . . . .One of the more inventive and strikingly original US Celtic outfits...

Music Style Celtic

Artist History Colcannon has been performing together for well over a decade, developing a distinctive, inventive, and contemporary musical style while still keeping in firm touch with the heart and essence of traditional Irish music. The band has released five albums on Oxford Road Records, and their hour long concert video 'Colcannon in Concert' has aired nationwide in the US as a PBS special. Colcannon's concerts are reknowned for their energy, for singer/frontman Mick Bolger's irrepresible sense of humor and sly wit, and, of course, for the music; music that expresses flights of joy, deep sorrows, and an unquenchable zest for life.

Group Members Mick Bolger: vocals, bodhran . . . . . Mike Fitzmaurice: double bass, guitar . . . . . Rod Garnett: flutes . . . . . Jean Harrison: fiddle, accordion . . . . . Brian Mullins: mandolin, mandocello, bouzouki, guitar, flute

Albums Corvus, Saint Bartholemew's Feast, The Life of Riley's Brother, Athens Hotel, Some Foreign Land
