Braving the chilly evening weather, Noble McCoy with fiddling guest Tim Sadow did not disappoint at my back yard birthday party with Celtic pub music. They were communicative, accommodating of requests and very personable. That’s before commenting on the fabulous musicians that they are. An event my family will not soon forget! Thank you!
Response from Noble Mccoy Band Celtic, Americana, Rock:
Kelly,

We're not just any 'Irish' band- we like to incorporate all forms of Celtic music, well known and little known songs and tunes! Do you prefer traditional songs performed in the old style? Are you open to hearing old songs with a new twist? Do you like to dance to jigs and reels? Do you enjoy pirate shanties? Are you up for some audience participation songs? We've got you covered!!!
Sarah Noble has a sweet voice that will transport you back to days of old, but don't let her fool you- she can also belt out an Irish rebel song like you've never quite heard it before. James McCoy sings and writes heartfelt original guitar lines while still giving credit to the artists song. Billy Parker can tickle your ear with his mandolin. Shay Veno delights on mandolin and guitar with fun pub songs. Tim Sadow plays a mean violin. Steph Pack plays the jigs and reels on the piccolo like it's nobody's business and charming chords on her concertina adding a classic sound to our sea shanties.
No matter what combination of duo or trio, We are ready to entertain you!!!
We are a Celtic band available as a duo or trio featuring Sarah Noble on vocals, Irish bodhran and percussion, as well as James McCoy on acoustic/electric guitar doing live looping and directing live drum tracks. As a trio, I can offer a mandolin, fiddle or piccolo/concertina player who are all very talented! We commonly work with Billy Parker, Tim Sadow, Shay Veno and Steph Pack. We play in pubs and bars around the state, private events, retirement and disability centers, holiday events, The Phoenix Scottish Games, the Tucson Celtic Festival & Highland Games, The Irish Parade & Faire, events for the Irish Cultural Center, etc.
We've been known to entertain any crowd- knowing there are over 1 million Irish in AZ, including over 230,000 Scottish in the East Valley! Book us once, you'll be glad you did!
