Celtic Chaos Homepage British Columbia Canada

Celtic Chaos is a traditional band from the Qualicum Beach and Nanaimo area of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The group consists of Dave Barta on accordion and vocals, Joyce Beaton on fiddle, les pieds, and le patter, John Beaton on poetry, Gordon Lafleur on Irish wooden flute and penny whistle, and Joe Spinelli on double bass. We perform songs, tunes, and poems from all over the Celtic world, including Scotland, Ireland, Quebec, Cape Breton, Sweden, and Appalachia.
