From last Summer. At the BC Government House Music on the Lawns outdoor concert series.

With #Celtic #Scottish #musicians #friends in our local #Cookeilidh ( Cook - Kay - Lee ) band.

Cookeilidh has been delighting audiences for over 15 years with their high energy traditional, and modernized Celtic tunes. Comprised of 12-string guitar, electric bass, Irish flute, fiddle, bodhran, and vocals, they weave their own special blend of Trad with Attitude, Celtic Craic, and Pot O' Gold Folk!

Mixing the tunes of #Ireland and #Scotland, with a heaping spoonful of #Maritime flavour, and a dash of #Folk is their recipe for a modern day kitchen party!

Members and Instruments:

Dave Cook: Acoustic 12 String Guitar & Vocals
Woody Wilson: Irish Wooden Flute, Bodhran, & Bones
Tom Pogson: Electric Bass, Acoustic Bass & Vocals
Kim Cook: Fiddle, Percussion

"Extracting our artistic input, expertise, years of training, hours of long work writing, recording, composing, and singing only to pay us nothing while spreading our music around the world is one thing: Theft."

"As the internet became more interactive over 1995, it became a more attractive place for musicians to set up a web presence. David Bowie was one of the first to do this."

Recently, I've started to pay more attention to the #lyricists and other personnel listed on the #music I listen to, and I am learning about a vast pool of #musicians I've never heard of. For example, many of the songs on #BonnieRaitt 's first album were written by #Black people. Can the industry do a better job of acknowledging everyone's contributions? Maybe #DJ s should mention songwriters and soloists when announcing #bands and #vocalists ?
