leprechaun water

Leprechaun Water was conceived onebeery night listening to Irish folk music, ex deathmetal guitarist, Paddy (me) sponataniously decided to purchasea fiddle.............Much ale was later consumed and somehowtwo other family members joined.........Jay (brother) on guitar andVivvy.J (Dad) on goatskin and percussion, Sean Bay on fiddle,and new member Will Burbridge on Mandolin, Bazoki and Vocals. Aftermore ale the band decided to venture on to the music sceneof Newquay, via various open mic nights, which as memoryrecalls were somewhat successful,as far as winning some ale funds.Since then we have gone out into the big wide World and host an Irishmusic Session at our local pub, The Tavern Newquay.

A REVIEW OF OUR GIG ON 1ST. JULY 07 AT THE GOLDEN LION PUB, ST IVES.
1st July '07. The Golden Lion, St Ives.
 LEPRECHAUN WATER
 
 The Golden Lion was fairly busy when we arrived at half eight on Sunday
 evening. The smoking ban now in full force...I was a little concerned as to
 whether it would affect the turnout, but all seemed to be well (possibly
 helped by the smoking area/beer garden!) By the time the Leprechaun Water
 band members started to arrive, the bar was reasonably full. They kicked off
 with their first set at just after nine, with Viv (the "goatskin whacker")
 on Bodhran, Jay on Guitar, Paddy on Fiddle and Will on Mandolin. I was
 pleasantly surprised by the quality and authenticity of the music. By the
 time they were a couple of tracks in and the ales were flowing, it felt very
 comfortable, and my local took on the air of a public house in the depths of
 Southern Ireland. With a lovely warm and natural feeling, the band played
 entirely acoustically for the duration of the first set. As things started
 to busy later in the evening, they set up a single amplifier and microphone,
 which helped enormously due to the amount of bodies in the room! Thoroughly
 entertaining second and third sets involved some changes in instrumentation,
 and a great vocal line from Will on a couple of tracks.
 All in all an exceedingly enjoyable evening, involving a wide range of
 Celtic sounds, happily managing to avoid lapsing, as unfortunately many so
 called Irish groups do, into the "cliche" tunes. i.e. It was great to see an
 Irish style group who do not have to rely on "The Wild Rover" and suchlike
 to get them through a gig!
 One of few bands that I would go out of my way to see again, and a "must
 see" for anyone who enjoys a traditional night out!
