Formed back in 2009, Celtic Clan is an exciting band full of huge, fun personalities that love to make music.
With musicians from Ireland, Scotland and England, they mix guitar, fiddle, whistle, harmonica and three harmony vocals (along with low-key backing tracks where necessary) to put their spin on everyone’s party favourites.
You’ll know every song –from 500 Miles (The Proclaimers) to Come On Eileen (Dexys), Fairytale of New York (The Pogues), Dirty Old Town (The Pogues) and lots, lots more. Combine all this with some stunning acoustic traditional playing, a bit of audience participation and a good old singalong, and you’ve all the ingredients for a perfect event!
The band has performed at over 200 events, from weddings, festivals and village halls, through to garden parties, extravagent balls and even ships on the high seas. Indeed, Celtic Clan has played (and delighted) audiences everywhere.
