-01/10/13 – Clandestine at the Mucky Duck

January 10 @ 730 PM

Advance Tickets:  $20.00
Ticket price at the door: $22.00

Mc Gonigel's Mucky Duck
2425 Norfolk Street
Houston, TX 77098-4113
(713) 528-5999
www.mcgonigels.com

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.

*01/10/14 - Flying Fish Sailors at Mucky Duck @ 9:30PM

January 10 @ 930 PM

Advance Tickets:  $20.00
Ticket price at the door: $22.00

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.
