November with Wild Mountain Celts

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

While mostly shored up in the studio for the rest of the year, three members of The Indulgers (Renee, Mike and Damien) will skip out for a few gigs at Colorado area Irish pubs that really capture the sounds and vibe of the folk trio we called The Wild Mountain Celts.

This wee band formed in March of 2007 at the request of former All-Ireland GAA champion from County Cork, Mr Colm O’Neill. The idea to perform songs of the National Schools of Ireland and favorites written by other famous Irish men like Jimmy MacCarthy, the well-loved tunes of The Waterboys, Shane McGown and Christy Moore and here and there a few originals. Playing around Colorado at venues such as Swallow Hill, the Taste of Colorado Festival, Trinity Irish Pub, Fado Irish Pub, Celtic Tavern, Celtic House & many house parties, the Wild Mountain Celts have quickly enjoyed bringing pure honest Irish folk music to new audiences.

Plans to record a “Live” CD are in the works.

These three bands have shared stages at various festivals through the
years and now they’re bringing that winning cornucopia of music and fun
to Swallow Hill.

“Gob” is slang for your mouth in Ireland and Scotland. Gobs O’Phun is a
vocal trio whose songs tell stories. Tim and Denis Sullivan, along with
brother-in-law Martin Lambuth, are the Gobs. Framed with humor, their
songs bring tears to your eyes…be it through laughter, joy, sorrow,
pride or an occasional sour note. www.gobsophun.com

Lalla Rookh, a five-piece Celtic band, has been playing together for more
than a decade. Starting with traditional material—ballads, jigs, and
stories of romantic adventures—Lalla Rookh adds fresh and vital energy to
their arrangements. www.lallarookh.com

The Wild Mountain Celts are an Irish folk trio comprised of members of
The Indulgers: Dublin native Damien McCarron (guitar, bodhran, and
vocals), Renee Fine (fiddle), and Mike Nile (guitar, mandolin, whistle,
harmonica, and accordion). www.shamrocker.com
