Mec Lir takes Celtic music to a whole new level, smashing together traditional Irish/Scottish melodies with synthesisers, loops and drums. The band is an outlet for some of Scotland’s finest Celtic musicians to let their hair down and have some fun with the music that they love. This high energy show will get your feet moving and be sure to put a smile on your face!
PERFORMER BIO:
From their debut gig at one of the largest Celtic music festivals anywhere in
the world – Brittany’s famed Festival Interceltique de Lorient – the exhilarating, genre-busting Mec Lir have been frenzying festival audiences for a decade, with 2024 being their 10th anniversary!
Well-known for their tight, lightning-fast playing and huge sound, fusing Celtic trad with unapologetically electro synths and drums – yet all the while with the fiddle melody at the forefront – the Isle of Man/Glasgow band have brought their infectiously joyous energy to stages in many corners of the folk sphere; from Cape Breton’s Celtic Colours to the Shetland Folk Festival, Denmark’s Tønder Festival to Schots Weekend (Belgium), England’s Cambridge Folk Festival, and sell-out, rapturous appearances at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections.
Fronted by virtuoso Manx fiddle player Tomas Callister (Ímar), along with fellow Manx musicians Adam Rhodes on bouzouki (Ímar) and David Kilgallon on keyboard (Neear Nesañ), joined by Glasgow’s own Paddy Callaghan on button accordion (BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2013) and expertly grounded by Scotland’s Greg Barry on drums (Elephant Sessions), the group’s second album, Livewire, met critical acclaim upon its 2020 release, and topped the iTunes World Music charts – a feverishly anticipated follow-up to their groundbreaking debut, Not An EP (2014).
BAND MEMBERS:
Tomas Callister – Fiddle
Paddy Callaghan – Button Accordion
Adam Rhodes – Bouzouki
David Kilgallon – Keyboard
Greg Barry – Drums
