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.

Excellent Group!

Cillian's Bridge did a wonderful job preforming at our office for our Irish x Scottish mashup celebration. They were very professional, prompt, and sounded wonderful during the entire evening. We are thankful for their time and helping us make the evening truly special. Would highly recommend booking them :)

Response from Cillian's Bridge:

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...

Trio for a Fundraiser

I just wanted to thank you all again so much for your incredible performance
at our Global Heart Summer Event. The quality of music and dance made our
event that more special. You brought us all back to Ireland through your
music, it was truly magical!

Please let us know if you come out with an album as I know everyone will
want to purchase one!

In peace,

Cat

Irish Fair and Music Festival, Inc.

Your band played to a full house, was will received, and definitely a plus for the entertainment of the folks.
Thank you very much for your support of the Fair, you were certainly part and parcel to helping to make this year happen.
The Cillian's Bridge band will be back.
...As far as your participation is concerned, it seems my early concept on how good you guys really are was correct.

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.
