Irish/Fusion World Music
One of the nation's most sought after Irish-influenced bands, Skelpin'
(Gaelic for a loving slap, spank), has been known to drive audiences to
uncontrollable bouts of foot twitching and hand clapping. Skelpin'
performs lyrical Irish music fused with the passions of Spain, rhythms
of the Middle East, and American romantic soul.
Skelpin was invited to tour Japan where it was the featured band at
Disney's TokyoSea Resort in Tokyo, Japan, during 2005. The band was
so wildly popular they were invited back to headline the 2007 Tokyo Irish
Music Festival, and later performed for the Irish Ambassador to Japan.
In 2008, the band was invited to perform as a part of Hong Kong's St. Patrick's Day celebrations. (to read more ... click on biography)
