Tomorrow, The Flying Toads will bring their multi-instrumental, highly entertaining and inventive arrangements of Celtic music to Hanger Farm.
The Flying Toads originally met through playing in some of the excellent Irish sessions in the UK and Ireland and they share a deep respect for traditional Irish music.
Their name came about as a spoonerism of the Irish hornpipe, 'The Flowing Tide'.
Being a four piece band and each playing several instruments, the Toads focus on arrangements that explore the best blending of sounds and dynamics, as well as choosing tunes and songs that are exciting to listen to.
Their songs range from well-known lively standards, to moving lyrical ballads and are all taken from the Irish tradition. Our extensive repertoire of reels, jigs, polkas, hornpipes and airs ranges from fast and furious tunes for dancing, to haunting Celtic melodies to make you cry into your Guinness!
Their extensive repertoire ranges from lively jigs and reels to high-energy songs and haunting ballads, guaranteed to keep your toes tapping.
