Keltones:Trailer

Transatlantic music is the fusion of North American music with it's roots in the Celtic folk tradition. The Keltones have developed a repertoire of songs and tunes ranging from traditional Scottish airs through contemporised Celtic folk to North American R&B. Thanks to Kiri Smith (soaring fiddle & vocals), Dave Jenner (not just drums but masterful percussion), Rob Read (guitars, bass and quality vocals) and Chris Blantern (mandocellos, mandolin, Irish whistle & vocals) the Keltones bring a fresh feel to Celtic music with rich harmonies and a strong rhythm. This is the Keltones' first album with 9 tracks announcing the range of their growing repertoire. The title suggests a promise of more to come!
