Lance was the founder and front man for Mickle-a-do. He has been deeply involved in the Atlanta Celtic community for this entire century. His family is of Scottish, Irish and Welsh origin and is a proud member of Clans Cameron, Davidson, MacFarlane and Bubba. Lance believes, as a Scotsman, that you should keep the Sabbath – AND everything else you can get your hands on! Lance learned to play all of the instruments without lessons. That is PLAINLY obvious when he plays them. A long time member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals), Lance has an uncontrollable fear of vegetables and Chihuahuas.

A native of Planet Earth, Séamus (the Mad Piper) was raised on brass instruments, but in his twenties, heeded the clarion call of the pipes beckoning towards expression of his atavistic dominant gene (What?). Our man has been known to play the piob mhor warpipes, but specializes in Irish uilleann pipes and whistles, absorbing the craft in Germany and in Éire sitting humbly at the feet of renowned piper Finbar Furey. He founded the bands Séamus & Dave, Blackwater, and Doctor Paddy for Irish and international music in Athens, GA during the 1980’s, and was Irish when Irish wasn’t cool.

Instruments: Uilleann pipes, tin whistles, recorders, vocals and eclectic strings
