Molly's Revenge is taking traditional Celtic music by the throat and dragging it into the new millenium.

notes

Born out of the timeless tradition of Celtic music sessions, Molly's Revenge is a band with a genuine affection for the music they play; their enthusiasm for the music carries over in all their live and recorded performances. The classic combination of solo instruments such as the Highland bagpipes, uilleann pipes, whistles, fiddle, and mandolin against a backdrop of guitar and bouzouki accompaniment, with an occasional rousing chorus song mixed in, guarantees an enjoyable and memorable listening experience. Add the visual excitement of award-winning Irish step dancing to the mix and youíve got yourself a party!

Equally at home in front of audiences several thousand strong or in small intimate venues, Molly's Revenge has performed at many of the top folk festivals in the USA, performing arts events, and countless private concerts. Internationally, they have performed at prestigious events in Australia and China.

The band's skilled musicianship and boundless enthusiasm for its music guarantees enjoyable entertainment for people of all ages. Their arrangements of traditional Celtic jigs and reels brings these dance tunes up to date with a driving, hard-edged accent in a way that will leave your feet tapping, your hands clapping, and your voices shouting for more.

  • Brilliant!!

    Love every minute of it! Can't wait to hear in person!

  • "Extraordinary Fun" is an insufficient description
    author: The Boomhower Family

    This is about as much fun as an ordinary human being can stand... unless you have a sufficient volume of Irish blood running through your veins. Our family enjoyed meeting your band in Ridgefield, WA, and had a wonderful evening; Hence, bought all of your CD's - graciously autographed for our son who has just returned from a harrowing tour of duty in Iraq. God bless you all & keep up the grand work!

  • great job you guys

    I probably will not be playing the CD until after Christmas since it is a gift, but I don't actually need to hear it. I listened to a bit on the web, AND was fortunate enough to hear the group in Camas, WA. My little grandchildren got up and danced all around in front of the singers, me too. We loved the music. The CD is a gift for my very Irish son-in-law. We are planning to begin the little girl on Celtic dance lessons very soon. I predict the whole family will love the CD. Thanks!

  • I love this CD. Right, not a bad tune on it! I purchased this copy for my sister

    being from Ireland, i have of course an affiliation for traditional irish music. i do of course prefer the more traditional sets, but Molly's Revenge do bring a little extra flavor to the trad Irish rhythms!

  • The whole CD is enjoyable from the beginning to the end.

    I have 2 Molly's Revenge CD's..."Raise the Rafters" and "Live at the Espresso Garden." I have also had a chance to see the group live a couple times. The "Live" album doesn't compare to the latest release and after recently seeing them live, they should do another live album because there's an excitement and power that wasn't there previous. I don't know if it's Stu's kick-ass rhythm but it's pretty exciting.
