Writing from his many experiences, whether living on the street in Vancouver, or a cabin in the wilds of B.C. and across the country, Ireland knew that music was his trusted guide.<br /><br />Throughout his colorful journey, his musical tastes and mastery of a variety of instruments grew. Along the way, he has shared the stage with many a band, and talented musicians. Most recently, Ireland has pursued group efforts as George Ireland and the Willy Nillies. The group consists of George Ireland (guitar/vocals), Dustin Lambert (mandolin), Cam Boyce (fiddle/vocals), Kristy Nanise (washboard), Megan Kemshead (bass), Darren Radborne(trumpet) and Kelly Doiron(drums).<br /><br />To define the music of George Ireland and the Willy Nillies is like trying to describe the sights, sounds and sensations one might see at a traveling freak show. Ranging from hillbilly to gypsy, ballads of love or loss, punk to folk, as well as traditional Klezmer, Ireland and the Willy Nillies deliver it all with a moustache twirling grin and fine guitar picking panache. It even inspired a published comic strip and a comic book character of George Ireland hatching from a mysterious dragon egg, then discovering powers, as well as time and space travelling through portals. Get your stompin' boots on and tie em' on tight! It's going to be a fun ride!<br /><br />http://georgeireland.bandcamp.com/<br /><br />Tune in again to BalconyTV //
