Gypsy Reel play high energy stirring music rooted in the Celtic tradition but garnered from the whole world. Their music is an exciting synthesis of world rhythms and influences from 3 continents. Their new studio album, 'Red Red Rose' features music from the tradition and original material from the band.

Their tours of the States, Canada and the UK have gained them rave reviews - 'Ended the set in a frenzy', 'Gypsy Reel rocks stage at Charleston Spoleto Festival' 'Fine sparky playing - bags of originality'.

The line-up includes hot banjoist Claudine Langille, formerly of 'Touchstone', the sensational Irish/American fusion band that won critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, Graham Parker – fiddler extraoirdinaire; Jon Scaife, described as a genius on guitar by Dave Burland, and Camille Parker who has captivated the hearts of audiences across the globe with her singing in Spanish and English.


Reviews

Fine sparky playing: bags of originality                  
Andy Cheyne: Folk Roots

The hottest acoustic band around                  
The Message, Chester, Vermont

A sound which is flawless and an atmosphere which is incredible
Even the most reserved audience would find them irresistible
They play each number as if it's the final one                               Rock 'n Reel

The frail frame of Camille Parker holds a remarkable rich and powerful voice.

Gypsy Reel have been perfecting their eclectic blend of Celtic and original music for over 20 years all over the world. Don't miss this chance to hear these great musicians in a rare acoustic setting.         highergroundmusic.com

It's the speed of my typing that deceives the keyboard. Gypsy Reel are at Chelford this Saturday and there's still a few tickets left.

I`ve followed this band at a few festivals/sessions (but not for some time, regretably!), they always went down a storm; go see/hear, you won't regret! Wish they would have a sojourn in Eire, I miss 'em!

Any chance of a chorus of 'When Jones' Ale was New' Alan?

A tubby bouzouki player from down the Harry : )

Won't be able to make the Gypsy Reel gig - I've developed raging tinnitus and I don't want to upset it any more.

I am going to try to get to the Harry though - l hope to see you there!

They did a great show at Llantrisant last night (Weds). At one point Collette stood up to "make herself more visible, being short", and was challenged from the floor, so we had an impromptu "Who's the shortest woman in the room?" contest.

Mudcatter Eye Lander won, coming in at 4'10", closely followed by 'Catter JudeL, and non-'Catter Iris. So Collette came 4th.

Perhaps you could try one at Chelford.
