What's Happening ?
Off to Kilkenny Rhythm 'n' Roots for the third year running. Really
looking forward to this one as we will by augmented by guitarist
extrordinaire Mr. Edwin Ryan !. Ed played on two tracks on our CD and
has become a permanent feature of late. He certainly adds a rockier
edge to our sound. Let us know what you think !
Also, we hope have copies of our mini CD on sale in Kilkenny. If you
can't make it to Kilkenny, contact us by email and we'll send you
details on how to purchase it.
Music History
Raglan Rodeo were formed by Paddy Hehir
(vocals, guitar, mandolin) and Joe Deegan (vocals, guitar,
harmonica) in early 2001. Joe's previous band , Blind Gun Dog,
had just broken up , again, so , with the bass player, Martin Arthur,
they invited Paddy to form a new band with new ideas about how country
music should be presented and played.
With various drummers they played around Dublin for the next two years,
getting a set together that consisted of originals and choice covers.
Martin emigrated to France in 2003 and then, though a musician's
contact column, they met John Worth. Multi-talented and with a fine ear
for harmonies John was another piece of the jigsaw. Now all they needed
was a more permanent drummer.
But that perfect drummer proved to be elusive . Almost another
year passed by
until John met an old colleague, Ray Ellis. Ray came down to a
rehearsal and one song later they knew they had found the perfect
drummer.
