The new bio for our all new 7-piece line-up!!!!

Hi all! We said we would have some news for you for St. Patrick's, and here it is... we have been working hard in the rehearsal studio to put together our new expanded line-up, for the first time taking us into "full band" territory! So who are the newbies? Well, Eoin has been an unofficial band member for the last year, Julian has stood in for Miles on a few occasions, and although Justin hasn't officially played out with us yet regular gig-goers may recognise him as a fellow audience member. So, now we are seven... and below, for the first time, is our new official bio! Pictures will follow soon, and check out the gig guide link (above) for when and where you can catch us!


Biography
Over the last ten years Gan Ainm (Gaelic for “No Name”) have established themselves as Singapore’s number 1 Celtic Band. With an extensive repertoire of Irish traditional and contemporary folk music, mixed with a dash of Scots songs and Celtic-influenced American pieces, the band have entertained audiences at bars, clubs and functions throughout Singapore and South East Asia.

Originally started as a small acoustic group, the line-up of Gan Ainm has changed over the years to their current 7-piece folk-rock incarnation. The band are: Paul Hannon (vocals / bodhran); Alexander Gow (violin / electric mandola / vocals); Neville Smith (whistles / flute / electric bagpipes /sax); Miles McLean (guitar / bass / vocals); Eoin Ă“ Muimhneacháin (squeezebox / vocals); Julian O’Connell (bass / guitar / vocals); and Justin La Spina (drums).
