The ECCLESTONS
=0D=0A=“Full Contact Folk” best describes what The Ecclestons bring to the stage. After twenty-five years together as a band touring all over Western Canada and the US, siblings Colleen (guitar, vocals) Kelt (bass, penny whistle, vocals) and adopted brother Greg Madill (bouzouki, mandolin, bodhran, vocals) have never lost the spark that brings them together as a band. All being accomplished songwriters, they have recorded four CDs together. Known for their infectious humour, joyfulness, and harmony, this Victoria based band has a massive Celtic and Canadian repertoire alongside solid songwriting tackling everything from ‘bombs falling from the sky’ to the fires raging in Alberta and Montana, to siren’s song and dancing outside on a summer night. Growing up in the nomadic tradition of University and Air force brats, they have lived all across Canada and beyond, bringing a deep worldliness to what they do. Past winners of ‘The Best Live Act on Vancouver Island’ MPower Award, they continue to take on the world through their music and inspire audiences whenever they take to the stage.
