*07/08/12 - Danny O'Flaherty at the Mucky Duck (updated info)

There are singers – those who can carry a tune – And then there are singers – those who are capable of channeling emotions with their voice and conveying those emotions to the listener. Danny is one of those singers that you can feel his emotion behind his sentiments. He really believes what he is telling you. A man on a journey with a God given talent to express himself with his voice. 

Singer, songwriter, storyteller and musician, Danny O'Flaherty combines the sensitivity of the world around him and delivers it with a passion that sets him apart from the rest. His rich soulful voice, passionate storytelling and engaging stage presence will take the audience to the depths of his soul, and back to the ancient music played and sung around the peat fires in Ireland. Through his stories and songs, Danny delivers a world perspective through the eyes of an Irishman. 

O'Flaherty is an essentially Irish character with the Celtic love of words and music buried deep within his marrowbone. Growing up in the West of Ireland nurtured and molded Danny into the musician he is today. The long dark winter evenings gathered 'round the turf fire encouraged a thorough and diverse musical upbringing. The elders handed on to him, the rich oral tradition; the astounding thousand-year-old poetic sagas and the Irish love songs and dance-tunes they had learned from their parents. It's a lasting legacy of wit, gaiety and warmth, which has carried Danny around the world.

 He still clings to the old traditional airs, but is also inspired to sing his own heart-felt folk compositions. With every performance, he continues to bring a Celtic connection to the world! His concerts promise to be a magical evening of music with songs in both English and Irish Gaelic, suitable for all ages.

*07/27/12 - Clandestine at the Mucky Duck (updated info)

Clandestine is hard-driving, toe-tapping Texas Celtic sound. They re-formed in 2006 after a four-year break, with the same brand of blasting tune sets and new songs. Al Cofrin, the newest member, brings cittern and another set of bagpipes to the mix.

Percussionist and singer Emily Dugas captivates with her original song collaborations with Al, as well as her singular interpretations of songs in the Celtic genre.

Piper EJ Jones and fiddler Gregory McQueen return with the full force of their individual musical energies. EJ and Al also join Emily on vocals, with many songs now set in three-part harmony.

Once again, Clandestine is a regular feature at the Texas Scottish Festival and the North Texas Irish Festival, as well as their home pub, McGonigel's Mucky Duck in Houston.

The Sherwood Celtic Music Festival is a celebration of Celtic music, history and heritage.  Our particular event does not focus on a specific time period; rather, we celebrate the entire arc of Celtic history from ancient times to the present.

With over 20 bands playing Celtic-influenced music (traditional and modern), our very own Highland Games and many crafters here to show you their goods, we've got plenty to keep you busy during this high-energy event!  In addition to the above we offer dancing competitions, bagpipe competitions, harp circles and even a trivia challenge.  Many local chapters of Clans will be present in order to share their histories with you as well.

We hope you enjoy all we have in store for you at this 2nd Annual Sherwood Celtic Music Festival!  Use the nagivation bar above to learn more.
