‘What a joy...a good night out guaranteed'– Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 ‘Themusicianship is tight and intense’ –Songlines
Sheelanagig for nearly two decades have brought their array of foot-stomping folk tunes to
audiences across the globe. A quintet with a well-stocked armoury of stringed instruments–
guitar, fiddle, double bass - with the added energy of flute and drums and a bagful of jointjumping tunes, these fine musicians create a real dynamic which is inherent in both their
furious dance medleys as well as their thoughtfully arranged original pieces.
Putting the groove into a selection of traditional and original European Folk music dating
from the medieval times to present day, it’s difficult – nay, impossible – for your limbs to
remain stationary when you’re within earshot of them in full flight. The fact that they often
play with a knowing wink shouldn’t obscure their impeccable technique, and unique
musicianship that raises the roof in every corner of the world they have visited.
Having performed all across the globe the band are renowned for their rousing festival
performances and unique small venue tours where floors have had to be reinforced and air
conditioning installed in winter, you wont be disappointed!
