Planxty Irwin & Fanny Power
We are a barndance band, playing for parties, weddings and all kinds of event. We also play "just the music" gigs at pubs all over the region. Our music is mostly traditional Celtic and English. We're adding more of our own stuff too.
Why this name?
Seemed like it fit us
Do you play live?
We play live all the time. It's what we do and what we love. Recording time is Sooo dry compared with "the real thing". For us, gigging is a night out with your best friends, doing what you love best for people who enjoy it AND THEN GETTING PAID!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Although we play over a large area here, the internet has brought us listeners from everywhere. There's a great buzz when someone mails us from the other side of the world to say how much they've enjoyed the music. There's little or no financial reward although we have had a couple of gigs come our way via our internet presence.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
In our Dreams! Of course we would - like a shot
Band History:
We got together purely to play barndances about 15 years ago. We'd all had varying enthusiams for a wide range of musical genres. Once we started practicing and arranging the tunes, the music took over.
Your influences?
We've all been playing and listening for years and it all rubs off but our sound is us.
