“Keltricity is not a traditional Irish band lineup, as this band eschews a fiddler for electric piano (the other instruments being guitar, mandolin, accordion, percussion and tin whistle). The material ranged from traditional Irish jigs and reels (especially noteworthy was the reel Gravel Walk performed over a Bo Diddley beat) to pretty 3 part harmonies. Another twist was the performance of three mandolin tunes composed by John Goodin who once played in the Louisville Mandolin Orchestra but now has relocated. This is a relatively new band to the Louisville Irish scene (created from the ashes of My Darling Asleep) and is a group well worth seeing — even for hard core traditionalists who want the traditional instrumentation and arrangements.”
