Highland Celts Band<br />
Mad Stringers<br />
Highland Celts Band is Highlands County’s only band solely dedicated to<br />
traditional Celtic music originating in Ireland and Scotland. Charter member<br />
Chris Noel plays the Irish tin, or penny whistle, and flute. Matt Coltharp is featured<br />
playing fiddle and guitar. Bill Williams adds depth and flare on guitar. Michael<br />
Noel backs them up with the Irish drum, the bodhran. All of them have a turn<br />
at singing a variety of tunes including ballads, sea shanties and pub songs. They<br />
encourage crowd participation and often provide chorus lyrics for sing-alongs.<br />
As a special treat, the Irish step dance class from Attitudes Dance Studio will join<br />
them dancing to popular jigs and reels. Class instructor Alyxandra Maxwell might<br />
bring some special dancers from south Florida to join in the show.<br />

soulful sound<br />
to her melodies,<br />
