The Flyin' Column is named for those bands of Irish heroes who helped carriy on the vision of Irish freedom. For 41 years The Column has carried on the cause of Irish music in Central New York. With a performance style that owes much to the "Ould Guard" of lrish and American folk music The Flyin' Column continues to perform at the better Saloons and Irish Festivals in New York State.

For the past three decades The Flyin' Column has started the show with "Come In" and ended the program with "Good Bye Mike, Good Bye Pat". The in-between has always been a mix of waltzes, sing-a-longs, and Irish ballads. With The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, The Rovers and The Corrie Folk Trio as mentors The Column has taken the traditional songs of Ireland, Scotland and North America and created a style of their own.

Whatever your dancing pleasure, slow waltzes, quick steppin', or jigs and Reels, The Flyin' Column can fill the bill.  And while the traditional music of Ireland is The Column's musical mainstay, a little Old Time Rock and Roll; and even some Country and Western may sneak into the mix.

Songs performed by The Flyin' Column can be found on three CD's produced by The Flyin' Column and Ron Keck of Subcat Studio for Wild Harp Records.

" With All the Celtic Rock bands around now it is great to hear the old songs done the old way!" Bob Welch, Host of "The Irish Radio Show" Fingerlakes 1110 AM Radio.
