www.reverbnation.com/thecatsinthekitchen [email protected] The Cats in the Kitchen The Cats in the Kitchen are Marie Hélène Dion, Richard Morgan, Gord Fisch, and Julien Deprés. They are a traditional celtic line up of guitar, fiddle, flute and bodhran. The diverse experiences of the members, though, give the group a unique feel to the mix. Marie-Hélène's education in jazz brings a powerful violin sound laced with jazz influenced harmonies. Richard's background in dance brings a crisp, dynamic feel to the flutes, and when mixed with the powerful violin gives an almost orchestral feel when backing Gord's more traditional vocals. Julien's backing vocals perfectly complements Gord's, while his talent for percussion adds a drive that's guaranteed to get your feet tapping. As an acoustic group the Cats in the Kitchen are suited to small concert rooms and large festival stages. The celtic nature of the material is idealy suited to celtic themed events such as Hogmanay(new years), Burns night, and WSt. Patrick's Day Contact us For bookings and other information...
