Celebrate the Winter Solstice with traditional Celtic music by Moch Pryderi !  In the Celtic lands winters were long, dark and cold.  Winter Revels - parties and celebrations featuring music and blazing fires, served to break up the gloom and remind people that the Wheel of the Seasons was turning - Spring was on its way!

Moch Pryderi (the name is Welsh for "Pryderi's Pigs" and is taken from one of the stories in Welsh national epic "The Mabinogion") is based in Fredericksburg, Virginia.  Band members Mary Triola, Dave Rich, Rick Rice, Bob Roser, Deborah Jensen, and Bill Reese (click HERE for more information on each individual) are well versed in various instruments, including the Welsh triple harp, small and great pipes, Breton bombardes, Welsh pibgorns, Irish bouzouki, mandolin, banjo, flutes, whistles and percussion.  Their specialty is the traditional music of Wales and Britanny, but they also draw upon Irish, Scottish and Appalachian sources to present a varied, in depth program that never fails to please an audience.  

The band has performed at most major festivals on the east coast, including The Celtic Classic, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Washington Folk Festival,  the Potomac Celtic Festival, the Fredericksburg Welsh Festival, the Philadelphia Welsh Festival, the Historic Rugby Festival of British & Appalachian Culture, and the Celtic Nations Heritage Festival in Lake Charles Louisiana.

A lively celebration featuring Celtic songs and tunes!  What better way to spend a winter evening?
