Mec Lir

Mec Lir is an effervescent band that has woven their musical tapestry from the rich traditions of Celtic music matched with unmistakable contemporary vibrancy. Comprising of accomplished musicians Tomas Callister on fiddle, Adam Rhodes on bouzouki, David Kilgallon on keyboards, and Greg Barry on drums and percussion, the band has crafted a unique sonic identity that speaks to both the roots of folk and the flair of modern electronica. They hail from the Isle of Man, Scotland, and England, causing their blend of Celtic and Manx music to strike a chord with a global audience.

Since their inception, Mec Lir has consistently pushed boundaries within the folk genre, incorporating pulsating rhythms and infectious melodies that make their music both approachable and dynamic. Their most recent releases are a testament to their growth and versatility as a band. "Flashback (Valtos Remix)" exemplifies their willingness to experiment with electronic influences, reimagining the traditional realm they so adeptly represent. Following in a similar energetic vein, "Livewire" and "The Ram" showcase their instrumental prowess through gripping arrangements and spirited performances. "Chase the Ace" continues to entrench their status as a live force to be reckoned with, while "Not an EP" cleverly plays on the notion of musical releases, offering a collection of tracks that further consolidates their position in the contemporary Celtic music scene. Mec Lir is not just preserving the legacy of folk; they are reinvigorating it for new generations of listeners.
