Colcannon: Authentic, Joyous Irish Music

Colcannon plays Irish music with panache, warmth and wit.  Timeless songs and great musicianship transport the audience to another time and place.  Colcannon is equally at home on the stage at a folk music festival or performing with a symphony orchestra.
Colcannon has developed a distinctive, inventive, and contemporary musical style while still keeping in firm touch with the heart and essence of traditional Irish music.  Colcannon's concerts are renowned for their energy, for singer/front-man Mick Bolger's irrepressible sense of humor and sly wit, and, of course, for the music; music that expresses flights of joy, deep sorrows, and an unquenchable zest for life.
Colcannon's appeal crosses lines of age, gender and ethnic background.  For while the musical focus is on the beautiful wealth of traditional Irish music --all acoustic instrumentation, traditional as well as original tunes and songs, with some of the songs in Mick's native Irish language -- Colcannon's true message is the story of the resilient and joyous human spirit.
