Síocháin (pronounced Shee'-a-kawn, meaning peace in Gaelic) is Celtic Rock band based out of Indianapolis, IN. Although the name may mean peace, the band's entertaining music will do more to disturb the peace! Síocháin blends Celtic instrumentation (bagpipes, fiddle, bodhrah) in with the high energy of rock to produce some wonderfully powerful music. Síocháin performs music from a wide range of Irish and Scottish groups such as Wolfstone, Gael Force, Paper Boys, Danu', Young Dubliners, along with their own renditions of some of Ireland & Scotlands finest songs.
Within their first year of existence, the band has had opportunities to open for groups such as The Fenians and Gaelic Storm. They've performed at the Indy Irish Festival, placed in the top five for People's Choice Awards for favorite festival band and have quickly developed a strong fan base in the Indianapolis area.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

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.
