Sunday October 19th, 2008: Mark Fletcher & Rant Maggie Rant

$20/18

This five-member ensemble brings you a presentation of Celtic music with a bit of attitude. Traditional tunes played straight up or yielding to the influences of world rhythms. Reels with a touch of Appalachian Swing, jigs driven by Latin hand percussion, slow ballads as they've been played for centuries."Rant Maggie Rant" will take you on a journey charted through the past, to new compositions of the present, passing by the shores of the seven Celtic nations on their way. Rant Maggie Rant are Mark Fletcher on guitar, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, flute, whistles, accordion, assorted pipes, pibgyrn, keyboards and percussion; Glen Dias on vocals, Lindsay Schindler on fiddle, Keith Ford on guitars; and Bob Larose on bodhran. All of these band members have extensive performance experience, including the Millrace Festival in Cambridge, and are bound to put on a great show.
