One of thee most exciting bands on the Celtic music circle. We are delighted to have with us for Saturday 15th heading the inside stage Barleyjuice. vocals, guitar, accordion, harmonica, bagpipes, congas, bodhran, tinwhistle, haggis, jam butties Brewer is the throaty git on the microphone. He writes and sings for Barleyjuice, as he did previously for Company of Wolves, and before that The Ravyns. His whiskey-soaked vocal nodules have been exploited for everything from VH1s Before They Were Rock Stars to Dodge commercials, and he can be spotted with the unkilted eye in such cult films as Serial Mom and Fahrenheit 911 as well as playing a cop in NBCs Homicide and a sleazy photographer in CBS Hack. Never really any good at holding down a steady job, Brewer occasionally pipes with the Loch Rannoch Pipes & Drums, and joined them in the Millenium Pipes March on Edinburgh, Scotland for Prince Charlies Marie Curie Foundation. Kyf wants fans to know that his favourite colour is plaid and to please refrain from tossing haggis at him onstage, as it can be quite slippery. vocals, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, bagpipes, tinwhistle, bass, mutton kebobs Though spurned at birth and subsequently raised by squirrels, Swanny has shown great adaptive skills. After leaving the security of his treetop home to rejoin the human world, he eschewed acorns in favor of guitars and bagpipes, and earned the rank of Pipe Major of the Loch Rannoch Pipe Band in 1997. He and they marched in the Millenium March in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2000. Swanny founded Barleyjuice with Kyf and others in 1998. His vast collection of Nancy songs and uncanny ability to pick an apropos jig is the stuff of celtic-rodent legend. bass guitar, drunken harmonies, pint glass Despite being both Scottish and Irish, Eric was allowed to join the band anyway. He has spent the last several years using his walking bass lines to step all over the vocals of such Philly acts as the Bobby Lenti Band, Lenny G and the Soulsenders, and his own pet project, Ottos Jacket. Prior to that, Eric lived a dual life of Accountant-By-Day, Lap-Dancer-By Night, which may explain his kilt fetish. Or not. And ladies, his favorite colour is eleven. violin / fiddle, viola, vocals, piano, cajon, djembe, tinwhistle, endless hair Irish-Italian, hailing from the outskirts of Philadephia, Alice had been searching for just the right vehicle with which to exhibit her limitless talents. After pillaging various universities including Eastern, Temple, and Immaculata, collecting degrees and opportunities, she has found a home with Barleyjuice, who encourages her to make as much of a spectacle of herself as she pleases. Alice can also Irish dance as well as Latin dance, so we warn audiences to give her space, lest someone be injured should she attempt both at once. drums, percussion, water polo Keith Barnes’ mother was a black Irish and his father was a war vet - no better combination to create the perfect Irish rock drummer. After dabbling for years in rock, punk, Irish rock, reggae and ska, Barnes began showing up at Juice gigs, offering his services as a sub drummer, which he was granted numerous times over the years until, in 2014, he confidently took over the permanent position of official Barleyjuice pounder. And with bandmates Kyf Brewer and Keith Swanson, any question as to why we call him by his surname?
