Leprechaun Water was conceived by three family members having a few beers one night, listening to Irish folk music after returning from a trip to Ireland.
Heavily influenced by The Bothy Band, Kevin Burke, Tommy Peoples, Martin Hayes and the Great Chieftains, and more recently by the outstanding Lunasa. Ex Heavy Metal guitarist, Paddy spontaneously decided to purchase a fiddle.............More ale was consumed as he taught himself to play it, and somehow two other family members joined.........Jay his Brother on guitar and Viv their Dad, Born in Wexford Ireland on Bodhran and other percussion, friend Sean Bay later joined us on fiddle.
Now over two years on we gig as much as we can with great success, we are available for bookings, festivals, weddings etc. etc. message us for more details.
Our new self released CD, Traditional Irish Jigs And Reels, is now for sale at CD Baby and itunes, you will be disappointed if you expect to hear "The Wild Rover" or such like so called Irish songs, we strictly only play Traditional Instrumental "Old" Irish Music, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it. Leprechaun Water.
From time to time we like to use our page for the promotion of others, this time it is The Great Lunasa with Morning Nightcap, enjoy.
Thanks for all your support! The show went really well at the Laugh Factory, and the turnout was great!
If you couldn't make it, I have uploaded to my profile seven ten-minute segments from this outstanding variety show featuring Old Time Music, magic, dance, comedy and fun!
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Thank you for connecting! If you're interested, I'm offering one free original MP3 download to my new MySpace friends, just let me know the name of which track would you like to get and I'll tell you where to download it for free.
Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...
El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...
