Treacherous Orchestra and Fía na Roca to Perform at Celtic Connections 2011

Scottish band Treacherous Orchestra and Galician band Fía na Roca are scheduled to perform Friday, January 14th at O2 ABC Glasgow.

Originally spawned amidst the small-hours maelstrom of the Festival Club, 13-man supergroup the Treacherous Orchestra return to the scene of their legendary main-stage debut at Celtic Connections 2009, since when they’ve been hailed far and wide as Scotland’s most exciting new live act.

Bagpipes, fiddles, whistles, flutes and guitars all feature two by two, plus accordion, banjo, bass, and percussion in a spectacular sonic panorama as intricately wrought as it’s incandescently wild.

Spanish band Fía na Roca have been at the forefront of contemporary Galician music since their inception in 1993.

Their innovative song-based arrangements, centered on Sonia Lebedynski’s stunning vocals, incorporate traditional and original material with rock, funk and jazz influences.

Fía na Roca recordings available:

• In North America: Dez Anos Ao Vivo, Contravento, Fia Na Roca, Agardando Que Pase Algo
• In Europe: Agardando Que Pase Algo
