More than a great band playing great music from the Celtic tradition on St Patrick's Day, Colcannon has their own unique magic! The group has developed a distinctive, inventive, and contemporary musical style while still keeping in firm touch with the heart and essence of traditional Irish music.

Colcannonís concerts are renowned for their energy, for singer/frontman Mick Bolger's irrepressible sense of humor and sly wit, and, of course, for the music; music that expresses flights of joy, deep sorrows, and an unquenchable zest for life.

The band has been performing together for well over a decade and has released five CDs for Oxford Road Records. The hour-long PBS special, ìColcannon in Concert,î has aired nationwide. Colcannon's appeal crosses lines of age, gender and ethnic background. While the musical focus is on the beautiful wealth of traditional Irish music - all acoustic instrumentation, traditional as well as original tunes and songs, with some of the songs in Mickís native Irish language- Colcannon's true message is the story of the resilient and joyous human spirit.
