Hello, I'm Mary Tulin of the World Celtic trio, Banshee in the Kitchen. Thus the moniker.
Banshee in the Kitchen relies on our Bose L1 systems for stellar sound reinforcement in a wide variety of professional performance situations. The L1 systems freed us from the unknowns of just accepting whatever gear and personnel a venue would offer us (which vary greatly), and also from the arduous complexity of managing a 3-part system with or without a sound person to assist.
We've been enjoying our L1s since 2004. We SO wish we could afford the jump up to the model IIs, which are even more brilliant (and oh so very packable....).
We've been touring and recording since 2002, with 5 CDs to our credit at this point. We've evolved to a community concert, festival, and event band for hire. We've shared the stage with The Wicked Tinkers, Tempest, Molly's Revenge and other brash, loud Celtic guy bands; we think of ourselves as the "estrogen palate cleanser", with a very musical approach and lighter (yet rockin') touch.
- Brenda: fiddle, hammered dulcimer, vocal
- Jill: accordion, flute, whistle, bodhran, vocal
- Mary: 6&12 string guitars, bouzouki, vocal
- 1 is a rack box with Furman power conditioner, dual preamps, EQ, and compression for the fiddle (which has a GLM condenser mic) and hammered dulcimer, which has an internal pickup.
Here is a thread with live shots of us and the L1s at an outdoor gig a couple years back: Banshee gig photos.
