Peggy Bass, Celts on the River Music Festival

“In my capacity as Director of the new Celts on the River Irish Festival, and also my role as Director of the Economic Development Department for Metro Louisville government, I have had the pleasure of working with Keltricity, a five piece band playing music from the Celtic World. While a relatively new group, all of the musicians have had years of experience with this style of music and bring confidence and skill to their new endeavor. They strive to maintain the traditional sounds of this genre, the predecessor of much of our own native Kentucky music.

I have known several of the musicians in this band for many years through our mutual work with the Irish Fest in Louisville. More recently, I became Executive Director of the New Albany, Indiana based Celts on the River, and again sought out Keltricity to be part of this new festival. I have always found this group to be highly professional, organized and dedicated to providing an excellent presentation when on stage. They have proven to be quite sensitive to the production needs necessary to mount the large festivals and are quick to provide technical and promotional materials. The audiences have always enjoyed this group and I’ve heard many positive comments, including that this band is now the Louisville areas best Celtic band.

I recommend Keltricity highly and look forward to their inclusion on the Kentucky Arts Council Roster of Performing Artists.”
