Gwyneth Keen (Vocals mandolin and percussion)
Gordon Taylor (Guitar and mandola)
Imogen O'Rourke (Flute and backing vocals)
John Harris (Harp, Mandolin, guitar and backing vocals)
Siân Phillips (Fiddle, electric cello and backing vocals)
With multi-faceted vocals glittering between an array of complementary instruments, Celtish have continued to appeal to wide ranging audiences across the UK and Europe. Chosen from thousands to represent the talent and beauty of folk music as part of the ‘COPAS’ live event at the Royal Albert Hall, playing at numerous festivals, art centres and theatres, a tour of Holland with Lunasa and even Ronan Keating at a packed out NEC! Celtish have continued to deliver an explosive mixture of celtic music, intermixing jigs, reels and tunes whilst spiced with an emotive and hauntingly beautiful vocal.
This dynamic band of individuals will not fail to deliver, wherever your tastes may lie. Such are their talents, that one is enthralled with the rich blend of emotive songs, and enigmatic tunes. Here is a group of passionate artists who clearly cherish their music, use their instruments to their fullest potential, and generously ‘give’ of themselves and their talents to their audience.
Whilst Gwyneth Keen’s hauntingly emotive vocals enthral the listener and the fiddle is passionately played by the hugely talented Sian Phillips, the beautiful playing of John Harris on Harp and Mandolin and the critically acclaimed playing of Gordon Taylor on guitar and Mandola underpin and bind it all together. Add then the extraordinary talents of one of the finest young flute players to emerge, Imogen O’Rourke, and you have a pan-Celtic band that will satiate a variety of appetites.

Many thanks for the add. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human Trafficking. understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ...what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ...its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...please reach deeply into your heart and soul and please in 2009 join a movement or become a part of an event that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...
~Go raibh tú daibhir i mí-áidh Agus saibhir i mbeannachtaí Go mall ag déanamh namhaid, go luath a déanamh carad, Ach saibhir nó daibhir, go mall nó go luath, Nach raibh ach áthas agat Ón lá seo amach.
