Relativity
An occasional Celtic folk group, formed in the '80s, the lineup consisted of the youngsters, Triona Ni Dhomhnaill (vocals, keyboards), Michael O Dhomhnaill (vocals, guitar) and Phil Cunningham (accordion), along with Johnny Cunningham (fiddle) from the Bothy Band and Silly Wizard. The members of the quartet each had flourishing solo careers, but cross-fertilised their Irish Scots heritage with absorbing results. A top line draw in the USA, where three of them lived, their British debut was a coup for the small salt-town of Northwich, Cheshire, who presented them in a packed marquee in the local park. Their music is an energetic Celtic force with some graceful rockist touches.
