2007
marks the 16th anniversary of the acclaimed Celtic duo Anwyn &
George Leverett. George and Anwyn Leverett play such diverse venues
as Celtic and Blue Grass festivals, Nevada casinos, pubs, fairs,
school assemblies and craft fairs. From 1995-2000 they have performed
at the "Green Show" of the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival,
an event rated as one of the top ten events in the United States.
They
have a passion for Celtic & medieval music that proclaims
itself with each performance. Ancient, traditional and contemporary
Celtic music comes to life with their wide variety of folk instruments.
Anwyn and George play Irish fiddle, cittern, guitar, mandolin,
hurdy-gurdy, zither, hammer dulcimer, bowed psaltery, recorder;
but George's main instrument is the beautiful self-made 36 string
"Lady Harp" They blend a kaleidoscope of sounds and
textures that makes no two songs sound the same.
The
duo's music is played on Celtic music radio shows across the US,
Canada, Australia, Russia and Brazil, including the world wide
syndicated radio show, Thistle & Shamrock. George has recently
written and recorded a 5 song sound track for an upcoming television
documentary.
George
and Anwyn live in O'Brian OR, and are personal friends of Ceridwen
and Sybok of the Order of the Mithril Star. |
