With the Celtic harp, tin whistles, fiddle, button accordian and bodhran (Irish drum), Phil Edmonds, originally from County Clare, and Mary King, Rhode Island musician for decades, bring the sweet sounds of traditional Irish music to weddings, art galleries, libraries and other performance venues. Irish folk tales round out the set for a fun, engaging program.

Their “Celtic music & Stories” also features an introduction to Irish step dancing where the audience can learn to dance and perform in the show.

Phil Edmonds, a native of Killaloe, Country Claire, Ire-land, who learned to play tin whistle in a place where he says: “The backyard was the fields.” When he was 14 years old, his family emigrat-ed to America and settled in South Providence where he still lives. Along with his tin whistle, Phil plays button accordion with great warmth and spirit.

Fiddler, vocal-ist, harpist and leprechaun, Mary King, weaves these gifts together with her love of music and Ireland.

The Celtic soul is alive and well in the stories and songs you will hear, and your ears and eyes will smile.
