Bands
Mountain Road Ceili Band
Ceili pronounced (Kay-lee) is the Irish word for dance or party. The Mt. Road Ceili Band is a 4-5 member group formed in 1995 that performs traditional Irish music. They employ the use of traditional Celtic instruments such as the uilleann (ill-un) pipes, fiddle, concertina, tin whistle, bodhran, and guitar. |
Their repertoire includes: jigs, reels, and pub songs. The most traditional of all of our Irish bands, their sound reflects the times of old, and are a wonderful complement to a relaxing evening. They have played regularly at Jack Quinn's since 1998. Enjoy the music of the Mt. Road Ceili Band every Tuesday evening from 7-10pm . |
