Traditional and Modern Celtic with Unique Instrumental Improvisation

Alan Booth and Mike Clancy are musicians located in the Pittsburgh area. The combination of Alan Booth's rich vocals and Mike Clancy's jazz background makes for an exciting musical experience. Their influences range from The Wolfe Tones to John Coltrane. Booth and Clancy's set list includes traditional and modern Celtic music as well as original instrumentals combined with jigs and reels inspired by Brian Finnegan and Michael McGoldrick.
