Based in Wellington, New Zealand, Jacky Tar are a group of Kiwi, Irish and Scottish musicians playing "funked-up" original and traditional Celtic music. Using their Celtic roots as a base and adding elements of Rock, Rap, Funk and Dance music, their unique sound is a reflection of the cultural melting pot that is New Zealand. "..a whirlind of Celtic, Rock, Alternative and Dance influences... Imagine the Mekons let loose on Irish and Scots traditional forms... this is a discovery.. "FROOTS UK... A combination of drums, bass, mandolin, banjo, Scottish pipes, fiddle, guitars and vocals they have produced three recordings - 'Poor Mans Labour' (1999),'Defenestration' (Finalist NZ Music awards 2002)and most recently in 2005 'Splatt!!' Their sound has been described as 'New World Music'as has seen them negotiate their way around two tours of Europe in 2000 and 2002. UPDATE JULY 2009 After a couple of years in hibernation we are delighted to announce the recent new additions to the line up and the band will be reappearing at venues and festivals in NZ at the end of 2009 and summer of 2010. see jackytar@egroups for mailing list and news ....This profile was edited with ..Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5..
