Wicked Tinkers - Authentic Celtic Music Band CDs & Merchandise | Perfect for St. Patrick's Day Celebrations & Irish Cultural Events

Product Description

Product Description The Wicked Tinkers' first album exploded onto the music scene in 1995. Undefinable, they created their own genre of traditional celtic tunes, similar to the old Gaelic roving pipe-and-drum bands, done with their own contemporary idiosynrasies. It is a blend of the ancient art of Highland bagpipes with the primitive, driving rhythms of drums. Review Music that truly isn't about being pretty, it's about being forceful and filled with rhythms of life. -- Chuck Thurman, The Coast Weekly. Octorber 4, 1998The Celtic bagrock band, the bagpipe-and-drums answer the The Clash! -- Dean Bonzani, Flagstaff Live.
