and Inspirations ... are they too numerous to mention...? maybe, but worth a try - the honest burr of Kate Rusby's buttons, the way Gillian Welch and David Rawlings can evoke a sense of 200 years before, the energy of Nickel Creek, the delicacy of The Be Good Tanyas, the eclecticism of The Duhks, the genius of Chris Thile, the chops of Sam Bush, the folkjazzness of Pentangle, the stories of Fairport Convention, the Bobness of Dylan, the narrative of Mike Scott, the twiddlyness of John Renbourne, sunshine on your skin, all the logs cut for winter, probably loads more...but I have a hangover...
Born out of a combination of Ceilidh Jo's hauntingly beautiful singer songwriting, pub music sessions and mutual admiration, the line-up of Ceildh Jo & The Fabulous Incredibles brings together 5 musicians with a track record for producing stunning acoustic music. A tapestry of sound, weaving Ceilidh's beautiful voice through a folk vibe which threads itself through a fiddle and mandolin guitarpicked basstasticness.... watch this space or join the friends below to be kept up to date on CD releases and live events...
"One of the most appealing acoustic combos I've heard in a long time. Ceilidh Jo & The Fabulous Incredibles have that knack of making music that is surprising, yet at the same time familiar. Musicians who play this well together are rare ... and that voice... that voice is special! They certainly won my audience over!" (Acoustica - Gloucester Guildhall)
"Watching Ceilidh Jo & The Fabulous Incredibles, one could almost be transported back to medieval England. They looked like a troupe of troubadors and it was easy to become lost just in the beauty of the music. By the end of their set, I wanted to run away with the "raggle-taggle gypsies" with "rings on my fingers and ribbons through my hair". (Rosie Hoskins SN&J).
"Hearing Ceilidh Jo sing can be a magical experience" (Hub Review)

Hello Ceilidh-Jo, Im back home from being on the road going to Festivals & camps this summer, connecting with beautiful people & musicians feeling the cosmic energy of festivals.
I have been doing Bodhran workshops at some of the festivals, giving people the inspiration & energy of playing the bodhran, feeding the rhythms of Mother Earth to connect oneself with the bodhran as a channel to find rhythm within oneself. I have had a cosmic expierance of passing on the energy of playing the bodhran to teach & feel the vibration of the drums.
My journey of playing my drums in drum circles around festivals has been an enlightening & cosmic expierance, connecting with other drummers & the vibration of Mother Earth, the Sun & Moon.
My truly highs of my journey has been The Rainbow 2000 Music Camp, The Out of the Ordinary Festival, The Coedhills Equinox Celebrations & Summer Solstice at Avebury Stone Circle. These places & expierances i have had will remain in my heart & spirit deep in my soul forever, eternal in spirit.
MY HEART, SPIRIT & DRUMS
MY HEART FEELS AT ONE WITH MOTHER EARTH FLOWING WITH LOVE IN MY HEART MY SPIRIT FEELS AT ONE WITH THE SUN & MOON FLOWING WITH LIGHT IN MY SPIRIT MY DRUMS FEELS AT ONE WITH THE RHYTHM FLOWING WITH BEATS IN MY DRUMS.
Peace & Love Alasdair
This is a video taken at The Out of the Ordinary Festival of me in a drum circle at the Peace Stone Circle, feel the vibes of Mother Earth, Fire, Sun & Moon.
RAINBOW MUSIC CAMP was a Cosmic Expierance of Jammin with musicians & connecting with the Rainbow Tribe of people, feeling as one Tribe with Mother Earth, the Stars, Sun & Moon. Drum Circles round the Fire of Life into the Spirit & Soul of the Heartbeat of Mother Earth up into the Universe of Stars. I did my first BODHRAN WORKSHOP, it well really well, feeding off the vibes of Rainbow Energy, positively passing on the Spirit of the Bodhran Drum to people, to give them inspiration, confidence, teaching & to develop your own style & sound of playing the Bodhran Drum beating to the Heartbeat of Mother Earth. Jammed with some awsome musicians on stage & round fire, feeding on the energy of the Food of Life ~ Music, Drums, Mother Earth, The Tribe of Rainbow Warriors, the Stars, Sun & Moon. DRUMCIRCLES round the Fire, generating the Rainbow Vibe of Life, making people dance & feel the cosmic energy of Mother Earth. I played Drums for the Circle Dance, 5 Rhythms Wave, Trance Dance, Ceilidh Dance, procession & jammin.
The Rainbow Warriors are as One Heartbeat As One with the Mother Earth of Life The Spirit of the Drums are as One Drumbeat As One with the Rainbow Vibe of Life The Cosmic Expierances are as One Love As One with the Rainbow Tribe of Life The Light of the Sun & Moon are as One Universe As One with the Rainbow Music Camp of Life Eternal.
