Fish in a Birdcage

Fish in a Birdcage has been featured here in other years with other members but the one consistent member is Dusty Townsend, usually playing cello as on the right in the photo above. When I saw him earlier this week he was playing in the company of Esther-Ruth Teel, on the Celtic Harp. It's an odd combination of instruments but it works amazingly well, the deep, rumblings of the cello perfectly counterpointing the softer pluckings of the harp.

Here's some music I recorded last month and have only just got around to processing. This is Fish In A Birdcage with Dusty Townsend on cello and Heather Woodbridge on violin. I believe this is Celtic music but I neglected to ask the name of the tune. Check out the video below to get your toes tappin' and fingers snappin'.

Here's a group I've not heard before that has a sound as interesting as their name. They are called Fish in a Birdcage and this is their second year on the Causeway. I hope to hear more of them soon since the little I heard was very good as well as quite different from the usual causeway musical fare.

Guitar and Vocals - Tristan Teal

Cello - Dusty Townsend

Clarinet - Richard Driedger
