| The
Grail
The Grail comprises an exceptional
group of Celtic musicians and composers. These multi-instrumental
performers have travelled the world many times over playing music,
in addition to recording music for film and television. Their own
compositions are inevitably enriched by this extensive travel to
the farthest reaches of the globe.
Numerous television and stage appearances include a performance
at Australasia's APRA Music Awards.
Large scale orchestral credits include the composition and performance
of music for the internationally touring Irish dance show, "Celtic
Dance Force", as well as appearances in the massive 'Riverdance'
stage extravaganza.
Roaring pub crowds and thunderous festival
audiences have been captivated by the thrilling energy and celtic
spirit of the band. Ever popular classic Irish songs are blended
effortlessly with The Grail's critically acclaimed original tune
sets to please the most demanding audiences. The dancing is addictive
when the fiddle starts to fly, while everyone joins in the festivities
as the band spreads its infectious humour and encourages light-hearted
audience participation.
The Grail owes much of its success to a diverse repertoire, adjusting
each performance to audience appeal.
Traditional Irish audiences love to sing
along to classics such as "Whiskey In The Jar", "The
Irish Rover" and "The Fields of Athenry". Contemporary
audiences fill the dance floor to the music of Bob Dylan, Van Morrison,
Rod Stewart, U2, Thin Lizzy and Johnny Cash.
Contemporary pop audiences of every age will
dance and sing along to songs by well known performers such as The
Commitments, Johnny Cash, The Pogues and many more. Worldwide festivals
have also added a wide range of international songs to the band's
extensive repertoire. The Grail also dazzle audiences with their
original compositions of jigs and reels.
The
Grail offers an outstanding array of entertainment. The band praised
by publicans and audiences from Dublin to Bangkok is available for
short and long term contracts, and one-off gigs.
