Album Notes

The Appalachian Celtic Consort performs traditional Scottish and Irish music in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia. Our music catches the energy of the Celtic ceili, where musicians would gather just for the craic (Craic – pronounced “crack” but meaning “great fun”). We have been playing together since 1998, and regularly perform at venues in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky. Of course, if someone wanted us to play in, say, Hawaii I think we could negotiate something! The band currently consists of: Patrick Wiegand - Guitar, Vocals. In addition to playing guitar with the Consort Pat is a composer, song writer, and percussionist. He regularly performs original material in Charleston area venues. When not "experimenting" with music, Pat is a research chemist. Dewey Sanderson - Hammered Dulcimer. Dewey has been playing hammered dulcimer for over 10 years and is active in local hammered dulcimer societies. He also uses a different hammer to chip rocks
