‘Celtica’Irish music.
Rob Fairbain, guitarist, singer and song writer in his own right has recently joined Celtica bringing with him a rich voice and a very extensive repotoire.
Greg Rough– vocals, rollicking accordion and harmonica, brings a wealth of experience and expertise. Great dance caller.
Ian Tritt, vocals and swinging fiddle/mandolin and tin whistle. Brings colour and excitement with his legendary lead breaks and his occasional sojourn in to Blue Grass.
Janice McBride, vocals double bass and Irish drum, dance caller. Founding member of Celtica. Many years of experience.
‘Celtica’ performs an infectious brand of Irish music from traditional ballads to old favorites like ‘Whiskey in the jar’ to contemporary songs by the Pogues and Van Morrison, , play stacks of jigs, reels, waltzs and much more. ‘Celtica’s gigs include Pubs, and clubs, St Patrick’s day gigs, wineries like ‘Kellybrook’ and ‘Tokar’, festivals, corporate events, fund raisers, ‘Celtica’ is a very experienced wedding band (they do great knees-up weddings) with an extensive wedding repertoire. Will ‘call’ and teach bush dances and sing great harmonies. A very experienced and good natured band. To be sure now.
