Culann’s Hounds gave a great performance at the San Francisco Accordion Festival on June 4th. They played a great mix of traditional Irish music, an apparently Cajun tune (?) and even some Ramones with great Poguesian flair. The musicianship of all members was exemplary but the real stand-outs were Renee de la Prade on the two-row diatonic button accordion and Steve Gardner on fiddle. Mike Kelleher (guitar, vocals, pennywhistle) and Scott Marshall (bodhran) provided a solid foundation for the band’s soloists.
