Widening Gyre
Celtic Canadian songs and tunes
If you haven't heard me mention them before, then it's about time I did. Widening Gyre is another local Texas Celtic act with whom I am very pleased to be acquainted. This brilliant Celtic duo produce Celtic magic on Fiddle and Guitar. They are THE top Celtic group in Austin actively promoting all Celtic music.
David Armstrong is a board member of the Austin Celtic Association and has written several articles about us and has reviewed three of our CDs. Meanwhile, Aditi teaches music at the UT Music school and is an incredible Irish fiddler, and I imagine her musical talent extends Well beyond Irish fiddle.
Last Fall, "Johnny at the Door (aka I'll Drink From Dusk Til Dawn)" was added to the "Austin Celts" (there's a great cartoon on the cover with a bunch of Irish musicians on a basketball court). This album is the first to feature a song they recorded before their upcoming album. It's a "Simple Gifts (aka Lord of the Dance) Set" exquisitely performed.
Find out more about Widening Gyre by emailing David or check out the Austin Celtic Association website. The ACA is looking for people interested in promoting or sponsoring Celtic music in Austin. It's a non-profit organization, and they would love your support Website: Homepage
