AMALGO – Celtic grooves from the Top of the South!
Fresh from the mythical Valley of Amalgo, this rollicking quartet brings tunes, songs, and grooves drawn from the evolution of Celtic music across the globe.
Steve McGlone (mandolin/bouzouki), Tamsin Leenhouwers (fiddle), Dave Remnant (guitars), and Dan Callahan (double bass) explore foot-tapping, soul-singing, musical beauty, including a host of original compositions.
Their sound is classic-meets-contemporary and their welcoming shows are drawing crowds from across the Top of the South. They now bring their fresh vibes to the people of Ōtautahi.
