Cillian's Bridge
Overview
Cillian's Bridge strikes a perfect balance between traditional Irish and Celtic rock!
What they can do: Need lively, welcoming Irish music for a reception or small gathering? They’ll send a duo or trio (mandolin, accordion, fiddle). Step up the dancing and sound with the whole band (add bass and drums)! Want to enjoy some traditional, champion-level Irish step dancing? They have a dancer (and sometimes a few).
They continue to be invited back to play various venues like: corporate events, The Irish Fair, Newport Beach Film Festival, Sawdust Festival, and pubs around So. Cal. Why? Because their music is fun and lively and well done! And they are really easy to work with.

Thank you for the review, Deborah. We had a blast as well! We love it when people don’t know what to expect from Irish music, but soon realize fun music is fun music! (Thinking we might take your Danny Boy group on the road!)
Until next time...

About
Birthed out of a desire to make great music, Cillian’s Bridge brought 5 musically accomplished individuals together to create a mix of traditional Irish songs and instrumentals blended with contemporary, Celtic, and rock. With some strong roots across the pond, Cillian’s Bridge incorporates Irish standards like accordion, mandolin, and fiddle. Though their narrative has just begun, Cillian’s Bridge has built a solid, growing following of Orange County fans that find their music arrangements complex and the sets energizing. Their entertaining live sets (we have a residency at The Harp and Muldoon's) coupled with the bandmates' easygoing personalities make for a show that proves enjoyable for young and old alike. There is no doubt that with a need for good, relatable music, Cillian’s Bridge crosses a lot of stylistic bases that serves their diverse audiences well.
