Ceili Moss Bio:
We like to define ourselves as "acoustic folk-rock with a Pan-European edge, that's not afraid of coloring a bit outside of the lines". The webzine Widdershins once wrote about us "they are not as punk as The Pogues, but they have a bit of that attitude, and it gives them an edge many folk groups lack". Other frequently heard comparisons are Ambrozijn, The Chieftains, the old Clannad, Les Ogres de Barback and Jaune Toujours.
Like many folkbands, we started by playing the "Drunken Danny rover of the County Down in the jar", but we have built our own distinctive sound, a jolly stew of Celtic, Flemish, Scandinavian, Balkanic, Mitteleuropa, Klezmer, blues, medieval, singer-songwriter sound with even sometimes a touch of Ska. We play an approximately even mix of our own tunes, sung in English, French or Dutch, and of traditionals, sometimes played the orthodox way, often completely rearranged. |
