We Want Mor!

Bagpipes and Palm Trees Collide when MacTalla Mor Plays the West Palm Beach Irish Festival.

Bagpipes and palm trees collide this St. Patrick's Day season when the international Celtic roots sensation MacTalla Mor headlines at the West Palm Beach Irish Festival. The award winning band will play Saturday March 13 at 5:30 p.m. then close out the festival later that night at 9 p.m. They'll also be back Sunday March 14 for a 2:30 p.m. set.

MacTalla Mor features champion great highland bagpipes and Gaelic singing, in a high energy mix of traditional Celtic, rock, blues, jazz, reggae, Latin and hip-hop. The band, which is made up entirely of members of the Devlin-Ofgang family has performed at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, in Montreal, Canada and at Central Park, New York. They've played for ESPN, NBC, and ABC TV. Fans of their music range from age 1 to 100 and include legendary musicians Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones and Jose Feliciano. In 2009 their haunting rendition of The Mist Covered Mountains was awarded Song of the year by Celtic Radio.

The band formed 7 years ago when members of the Devlin-Ofgang family decided to combine their musical talents into one never-before-heard style. Brothers Jesse and Levon play Bagpipes, drums and guitar,  their sister Ilana sings and is a Jazz pianist, their mother Patty Devlin, plays the Bodhran (an Irish drum), while their brother Erik plays the bass and does magic.
