Since march 2003 Comas have been together as a band, before that, they toured and recorded individually with top acts as The Drovers, Orion, Urbantrad, Denez Prigent, Donal Lunny, Sualtam, JC Guichen, and the internationally acclaimed Liz Carroll...to name just a few... Although coming from diverse musical backgrounds, and residing in different parts of the globe, they found eachother in their similiar approach to music, bringing together their many cultural influences to forge a unique blend of Traditional Irish music that literally had them, within months of coming together, playing on Major Festivals in Ireland/ Belgium/France/ England/ Denmark/ Holland/Spain. This achivement alone is worthy of note, and as further testimony to their deep rooted talents, being asked back immediately on every Festival they played .. we even had time to put our instruments away" as Philip, aptly put it. By the end of 2003 Comas had built up a sizable repution to be hailed in the press as: "The Revelation Of 2003" (S.Vandenberghe-NVFOLK) and as: "The best traditional band around"(Folkspot). When you hear Comas you'll know that their choice of name was no mere coincidence. (Translating from Irish/ Gaelic as POWER) And power is exactly what this band is about. Depicting their own driving power coupled with a fine sensitivity for the inner strands of magic that is inherent in Irish music. Here, their Fiddle player, Aidan Burke comes into his own, delving deep into his Irish roots to pluck out a pure sound that transcends time and place guaranteed to touch any lover of Celtic music. Aidan's dexterity is evenly matched by the awesome talents of Sylvain Barou (flutes, pipes), Philip Masure (Guitar) and Jackie Moran (percussion) "Comas plays enormously fast but with a lot of feelings"(S.feys-folkroddels) Comas are a band firmly rooted in Irish music, but with enough space to allow in original compositions.Open to new influences, but with a respectful eye on the past is what brings Comas to the fore-front of what traditional music is about today. (Text by the Irish writer/singer Tom Acton.)

  • David Franks: Walkabout…

    After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on MySpace...

    Poem cum song 5 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my Blog for details):
    STATE TO STATE

    (TUNE:

    C F G F
    C F G F

    F G F C

    From Sydney Town,
        In uni. break,
    I drove out west
        To earnings make
    Onion picking,
        On the fields
    Of Echuca,
        That year’s yields.

    After day’s work,
        From Y.H.A.,
    A group of us
        Would not delay
    To walk on down
        To the dirt rim
    Of the Murray,
        For a cool swim.

    On one such day,
        I do declare,
    Some three of us
        Had a big dare
    To swim across,
        From state to state,
    The wide Murray -
        I took the bait.

    Yes, foolishly,
        I took the bait -
    A choice that I
        Would come to hate,
    For I almost
        Did drown that date,
    Making the swim
        From state to state.

  • Ceilí Moss

    The fourth album by Belgian folk-rockers Ceilí Moss is finally available!
    "La vie sent quoi?" contains 12 pieces of mood, party or thinking for the rainy days, the sunny days and the inbetween days...
    As usual, the gentle Ceilí Moss with their wooden acoustic guitars make all the efforts of the evil speed-punk-metal-indus ridiculous! Make your opinion and, who knows, spend a few bucks, on http://www.ceilimoss.be or here:

    Mikans - "Kaon" Out Now !!!


     


    Mikans inception began in a little apartment in Yugawara, Japan. Its founding member, Matt Baker, originally from the UK, has been an avid writer of ambient music for many years. His experiences of Japan imprinted themselves on his music. He succeeds with a fine sensitivity to capture the subtle moods that Japan has left on his memories.


     In an age of permanent noise and nuisances from our hectic surroundings,Mikans meditative, drifting soundscapes evoke a reflective atmosphere that calms down and tranquils the mind - balancing loud with quiet, energy with calm.


    available at iTunes Amazon and other stores


     released by Mind Plug Records
