Details:
This album combines traditional Christmas and holiday music with some Celtic tunes tagged on, as well as Miss Fogarty's Christmas Pie.

We perform celtic jigs, reels, hornpipes and airs on the fiddle, tin whistle, bodhran, banjo, guitar, low whistle and vocals and singalongs.

We perform in Bucks County, PA, and the surrounding areas. Most of the music performed is Irish with some Scottish and Welsh, and an occasional Irish American tune.

The Boys of County Bucks are five professional men who love music and love playing it. The growing popularity of Celtic music in this area is attested to by the number of performing groups and the bars and restaurants and other venues where we and other Celtic bands perform.

We are available to play at public venues and private parties. (Please contact Bob Roach at rroach1121@hotmail.com for more information.)

Our music is traditional Celtic music. Occasionally we include songs from Irish Americans like Stephen Foster, as well as tunes like Danny Boy. Recently we have expanded into Scottish tunes.

Living near where Washington crossed the Delaware (Bucks County), we also play colonial tunes that were known and popular in 1776.

But basically we just play to enjoy the music and to share it with our audience.

The band members are:

Ned Asplundh, bodhran and low whistle
Blake Blakesley, guitar, banjo and vocals
Mark Guenther, guitar and vocals
Pete Peters, tin whistle, mandolin and vocals
