Plaid Menagerie

About

Plaid Menagerie is a contemporary take on Scottish and Irish music distilled into a right rant with awesome rhythmic drive. Instrumental fiddle, bagpipe and keyboard tunes that put the brave back in your heart. Plaid Menagerie's great Renewed Celtic Trad sound is enlivening community events throughout Northern California. Inspired by their Celtic ancestors, Nanette on fiddle, Phillip on bagpipe and Benjamin Fynan on keyboard, have been playing together as a family and as a band for 3 years. Many people have found their sound irresistible. Dance Manager and Celtic music lover, Lauren Ayers wrote: "Plaid Menagerie played for our December Barn Dance, with caller Mike Fynan. The toe-tapping Irish tunes filled the room, a beautiful balance of fiddle and piano (amazing what the very young pianist could do). Everyone was in a happy mood to begin with, but dancing to such wonderful music lifted our spirits into the stratosphere."
