A quiet few weeks! - July 20, 2010

The Mojos have been quiet over the last few weeks - this being the traditional holiday in Northern Ireland.

Off to France! - February 22, 2010

MojoKelt has just been confirmed for the Grillon festival ten-year anniversary. The band is delighted as the festival chose their favourite acts from the last ten years to invite back and they enjoyed themselves very much the last time they were over.

MojoKelt got the nod over several more famous Irish and European artists, which is quite a boost for he Band's egos!

New video - February 18, 2010

We have added a quick video from the recent gig at "In The Shade" Studios to give you a flavour of the event. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties we have only this short piece of footage and the sound is a bit raw as it is taken from the camera's mic.

Still, it shows what the band sounds like live, so enjoy!

The song is "The Tear that Stains your Face". Written by Tom, the band will include it on their forthcoming album, but for now it is available on the UNIFEM charity album.

Why not take a few minutes to search out the new stuff we've added on the photos page and the music page?

Good cause - February 15, 2010

MojoKelt would like to thank everyone who turned out to support the "Hope for Haiti" benefit on Saturday night past. The band played well and all the bands entertained the audience for the full evening. Lots of money was donated but as yet, we have no final figure!

Mojo K.

Upcoming gigs - February 1, 2010

MojoKelt will be playing at the "Hope for Haiti" benefit gig at the Millenium Arts Centre in Portadown on February 13th. Doors open at 7.00pm. Please give generously.

We have also been contacted by our good friends in Grillon, France, so there is a chance that MojoKelt may be paying them a return visit in March! The band had such a great time two years ago that they are delighted at the possibility of going back!

We should have news soon about a possible trip to America - keep your fingers crossed!

We should point out that we haven't put any gigs on the site for a while because we're trying to figure outthe best way to post the same information in several places at once - yes we're that lazy! Hopefully we will update that part of the site soon.

Oops! - December 12, 2009

Ok, so technology has beaten us this time! The gig won't be webcast this time but we do promise to do something in the new year - probably in May, or so.

There will be a song or two from the gig on the 17th on YouTube very soon after the gig so even if you can't be there you will be able to see some of what went on!

We would also like to thank our listeners on Rhapsody for their support:

Rich
We just have to figure out how to split the $0.01 four ways! Joking! We're just glad people are listening!
