2018-01-26 INTRODUCING CELTIC KITCHEN PARTY

At the Celtic Folk Punk and More HQ we keep on looking for new and exciting bands. Celtic Kitchen Party hails from Kingston, Ontario (Canada). They have released a couple of singles so far and they're on rotation at Celtic Folk Punk Radio on Radionomy.

 

"The name conjures up that down home feeling where all your relatives and neighbors drop by for a traditional kitchen party. This ensemble group is that - and more! Boasting a diversity of talent Celtic Kitchen Party plays a mix of traditional and contemporary East Coast, Irish and Scottish Celtic Music as well as a healthy dose of Pop, Classic Rock and Country! CKP brings a lively high energy feel to any venue which you are sure to remember. They have shared the stage with The Mudmen, The Mahones, Sean McCann, Next Generation Leahy and Queens Bands to name only a few. Highlights include; Grey Cup Festival performing at the Atlantic Schooners venue and for The Spirit of Edmonton Breakfast, The Perth Kilt Run Main Stage, Fort Henry's Celtic Kitchen Party & The Kingston RibFest. It has also been our honour and great pleasure to have played most of Ontario's CFB bases. Our most notable highlight on the horizon is playing in Iqaluit, Nunavut! So, What are you waiting for? Set your event apart - be prepared to dance and sing along to some of the best party music ever made. Period.
Welcome to The Celtic Kitchen Party!"

"Jump & Drink" written by Chris Giguere 1995

Patty O'MacKinski-Sven is a loveable composite character
He's proud of his own heritage though he was born in Canada
He's 1/8th Scots, two bits Swede, 7/16ths Bolivian
He's one third Dutch, 2/10th French
And the rest is Native American

Every day he goes to work in the same old dingey sweat shop dump
The boss man don't say anything except to jump when I say JUMP
No one seems to notice that something really stinks
He just cannot get over how much he needs to drink

At the local watering hole, he's sitting at the bar
He's listening to the music amazed that he's come so far
Tender sidles over and says without a wink
Man you cannot hang out here unless you buy a drink

Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink...

Patty knows if he takes a drink he won't stay in his seat
Knows he won't have time to think, dancing to the changeless beat
Tender sidles over and says without a wink
Man you cannot hang out here unless you buy a drink

Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink...

Jump Drink Jump
Drink, Jump, Drink

Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink...

Jump and Drink

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
‘Tis grace has brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home

When we’ve been here 10,000 years
Bright shining in the sun
When we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see, I
Was blind but now I see
