History
CEILÍ MOSS is an acoustic folk-rock band from Belgium founded in 1996. We describe ourselves as « acoustic folk-rock with guts and melodies, with a Northern European edge, not afraid of colouring a bit outside of the lines ». Perhaps it is Genevieve Williams from Widdershins who described us best : « They are not as punk as The Pogues, but they have a bit of that attitude and it gives them an edge many Celtic groups lack ». Other frequently heard comparisons are Ambrozijn, Tri Yann, Jaune Toujours, Gaelic Storm, the old Clannad, The Glengarry Bhoys…
If you wonder what the name of the band means, Ceilí is an Irish word for a feast with traditional music, and Moss was the nickname of Alain Mossiat, boss of the pub "L'Eblouissant", in Namur, where we first learned to deal with stage fright.
