Art!
Laid back! We sing a lot of Highway man songs, songs about eating children (Tom of Bedlam) and then it really get going! We sing some of my stuff about the murder of Amadou Diallo, the murder of Gysies in the Czech Republic (sorry Petr, I dont mean to get us started again!) and the forced assimilation of Canadian Natives and the theift of their land by Hydro Quebec! THEN there is the Ceile music! We have the irrepressable Mike McDonnald on fiddle, an intence musician, the mysterious Gordo Abrams on flute and mandolyn (what did he just say? the front table murmer at his rye and sometimes inappropriate comments...) the Gamin (Brigid Kaelin - no relationship to Kato)with her WONDERFUL voice... and this Uilleann Piper, who has been known to hang out with Pavees and Rom, well, laid back, I dont think so. Check back latter today, I have to update our Web page and I will hot link for you to get a look at us...
Sorcha Dorcha is named after the patron saint of Irish Pavees (Travellers).
All the best...
