Genre-busting quartet Mec Lir exploded onto the Celtic music
scene in 2014 with their debut release Not An EP, launched during
their first appearance at one of the world's largest Celtic music
festivals, Festival Interceltique de Lorient in Brittany. Since then
they went on to release two singles in 2016, have appeared at
festivals all around the world and even featured on a viral social
media video that has amassed over 2.5 million views!
This bold and exuberant Isle of Man/Glasgow based band has a
stellar line-up, consisting of virtuosic Manx fiddle player Tomas
Callister (Ímar), along with fellow Manx musicians Adam Rhodes
on bouzouki (Ímar), David Kilgallon on keyboard (Chronicles),
and Scotland’s Greg Barry on drums (Elephant Sessions).
They have spent the last three years quietly writing and recording
new material for what is their first full length album, Livewire,
released in December 2020. With the global events over the last
year proving to be extremely difficult for the live music industry,
Mec Lir decided to take advantage of this down time and produce
something really special, to bring 2020 to a close with a bang.
Well known for their tight, lightning fast playing and huge sound,
Mec Lir's main intention is to create music that allows the listener
to feel happy and have a good time. Fun really is the aim of the
game here, there's very little in Mec Lir's music meant to be taken
too seriously.
If you strip back the synths, drums and bass, you will find at the
core of these complex (and often verging-on outrageous!)
arrangements a set of trad tunes that would be accepted by even
the most traditional of session players. That being said, add
everything back into the mix and you'll experience something
difficult to classify other than simply 'Mec Lir'.
