The David Munnelly Band is... On the road since 2000. In 2007 alone the
band logged over 10,000 miles. Started by Irish button accordion
player David Munnelly, who's toured and recorded with The Chieftains
and with DeDanann, the David Munnelly Band is one of the hottest bands
on the traditional Celtic music scene. With members from Mayo, Dublin,
Donegal, and Tyrone, the exciting sextet combines button accordion,
fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo, piano, bodhrán and flute for a
high-spirited instrumental sound colored with a bit of jazz and
ragtime, topped with the singing of All-Ireland champion Shauna Mullin
and the extraordinary percussive dancing of American Nic Gareiss. "The
Irish band to see" (Irish Voice) has won special acclaim for
incorporating the sound and feel of the Irish-American dance halls of
the 1920s and 1930s and such bands from that era as the Flanagan
Brothers with its traditional Mayo roots. Awarded "Concert of the
Year" for both 2006 and 2007 by LiveIreland.com. www.davidmunnelly.com
