about
Burning Bridget Cleary took form on St. Patty's day of '06 when Genevieve Gillespie joined forces with the father-daughter duo, Lou and Rose Baldino. The combination sparks a blaze of Celtic sound that is perceived way beyond the sum of its parts! The girls front the band with their fiery fiddles, bringing a lively flair of youthful intensity and exuberance to traditional tunes. Lou‘s guitar bestows the dynamic rhythm and bass end, tastefully embellished with distinctive chording. Weaving in some choice vocal numbers and building the energy with some spirited stepdancing, Burning Bridget Cleary has wowed audiences at the Scottish-Irish Fest in Green Lane (2006 and 2007), the Celtic Classic (2006 and 2007), the 2007 Celtic Winter Classic, and many more popular venues. Gillespie appeared on the band's first three recordings: "Catharsis" (2006), "Everything is Alright" (2008), and "Totes for Goats" (2011), before departing to pursue other ventures. The band has been joined by Deirdre Lockman (fiddle, vocals) and Peter Trezzi (djembe drum). BBC released their fourth album, "Pressed for Time", in 2013.
