Mc Gonigel's Mucky Duck 2425 Norfolk Street Houston, TX 77098-4113 (713) 528-5999 www.mcgonigels.com The Flying Fish Sailors began their journeys in 1988 performing Celtic folk, renaissance music and sea songs, then progressed to original songs, humor, parody and folk rock. No strangers to diversity, in their early days the band often played in punk clubs, opening for such notables as The Dead Milkmen, Live Skull, and Shoulders. In recent times the Fish have opened shows for the legendary British folk rockers Steeleye Span, Brother, Tommy Makem, and Altan. The bands' influences range from The Chieftains to Devo. Performing acoustic folk music and original comedy, the Flying Fish Sailors bring together elements from diverse musical styles to create a sound uniquely their own. Their shows combine modern and antique instrumentation, and musical styles from many times and cultures: A place where humorous original songs, Renaissance tunes, American and Celtic folk songs converge with classic rock themes, the blues, and even rap and heavy metal influences. ********************************************** -10/25/13 - The Dead Rabbits at Vintage Pub Friday, October 25, 2013 9:00pm Vintage Pub 13245 Jones Rd, Houston, Texas 77070-4439 Bringin' our version of Celtic mayhem to the North Side ********************************************** -10/25-27 - O'Flaherty Irish Music Retreat in Waxahachie, Texas Online enrollment is underway for our 10th annual O'Flaherty Irish Music Retreat that will be held October 25-27, 2013 at the Lakeview Camp & Conference Center in Waxahachie, Texas!
