Celt Check!: News

Celt Check! will be performing at Finaghty's Pub in Snoqualmie for St. Patrick"s Day!
We will be on from 8 pm to midnight on Wednesday, March, 17th.
Finaghty's Pub is located at; 7726 Center Blvd SE, suite 110 in Snoqualmie, WA 98065.
So come on over and celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Celt Check!

Well, looks like Celt Check! will be going into hibernation for the winter, but this will give us the time to work on our next CD.
So by the time Spring comes around we should be able to offer all you fans a brand new album.

Radio De Danaan, a localy based internet radio station, will begin to play songs from Celt Check's "Regimental" CD starting today.

They play a wide range of Celtic music from Ireland to the New Hebrides, and now they have us. :)

The Washington Renaissance & Fantasy Fair is back!!

Celt Check! is proud to be a part of this wonderful event.  We performed 3 shows a day for the past 3 weekends and had a blast doing it.

Celt Check! just wants to let everyone know that we support Ron Cleveland wholeheartedly in his endeavor to keep the Ren Fair going.  We are proud to call him our friend and wish him nothing but success.

We would also like to thank all of our fans, old and new, who showed up to listen and enjoy the Fair.  We hope to see you all again soon

At last!

The new & improved Regimental! CD is ready for you.

Aside from digitally remastering the entire album, we added 4 more songs.

So if you would like to take us home with you, but feel the upkeep would be too expensive, just purchase one of our new & improved Regimental CDs and take it home with you instead.

HOT!
We were hot, the weather was hot, everything was hot.
Celt Check had a very full schedule of sets this past weekend at the Seattle Scottish Highland Games in Enumclaw. Added to the busy schedule, the weather decided to grace us with an abundance of sunshine, which made the stage a hot and sweaty place to be.
Fortunately there was lots of lemonade and other cool, refreshing beverages to keep us going between sets.
Everyone had a great time and we're looking forward to performing at the Washington Renaissance & Fantasy Fair this next weekend, and the two following weekends.
Hope to see you all there.

We performed at the new All's Faire in Randle the weekend of June 20th.
When it was all over, Celt Check! had won the People's Choice Award for best entertainer for the weekend.
One comment that was made at the end of the Saturday night party was; "You guys are like the energizer bunny of Celtic music!"

Just wanted to let everyone know about a couple of things that are coming up this year.
There is a new Fair starting the weekend of June 20th this year at the Dragon Sphere Rec Park in Randle, WA. Celt Check! will be performing all weekend. It should be a lot of fun.
Also, the Washington Renaissance & Fantasy Faire will be happening this year at the Maris Farms in Buckley, WA. Celt Check! will also be appearing there for all 3 weekends in August.
We will also be appearing at the Seattle Scottish Highland Games in Enumclaw.
Check out our Calendar Dates section for more info.

We had a lot of fun at the Midtown Station on Saturday, 11/1.
We would like to thank all the fans who came out to hear us play.
I will be posting photos of the event soon.

We are in the process of re-recording our Regimental CD due to some technical imperfections in the original.
We will be adding 4 more songs to it as well as improving on some of the current songs.
More info as it breaks.

Due to problems with the site the Washington Renaissance and Fantasy Fair will either be delayed or canceled.
As a result, Celt Check will not be performing at the Fair this year.
We sincerely hope that Ron can get the problems ironed out and open on time next year when we hope to be performing again.

Anyone who would like to purchase our Regimental! CD, but won't be able to be at any of our upcoming performances, may simply contact Gareth to setup the purchase either by phone or via e-mail.

We are very proud to announce that we will be joined by Gwen Beaudry.
She plays Bodhran, whistle and sings backup, as well as solo, vocals.
Celt Check! feels that this addition to our group will help us to expand our repertoire, and it will give the audience something better to look at than me, Lyle or Fiddler.
