THE GAEL FORCE BAND MEMBERS
The Gael Force Band is a combination of a "ton o' talent". Three friends got together to enjoy "jammin'" and discovered there was a need for Celtic music in the mid-South. Below is information on the individuals who create the unique sound of
The Gael Force band.

"Born at an extremely young age" in London, England. Played his first professional gig in '56 with the John Henry Ramblers (banjo). Went on to play instruments (piano, clarinet, tenor saxophone and guitar) with such diverse organizations as The Lusaka City Squares (a dance/swing band in Zambia) to Panachè (a Caribbean\New Wave band featuring the steel pan) to a heavy metal band in Miami. In The Gael Force Band Adrian plays penny whistle, guitar, and harmonica. |

M.S. in Pharmacology (learned about drugs legally in the Ole Miss School of Pharmacy); B.S. in Biology (had friends who were physiologists and other depraved individuals); comes from a long line of lovers of the grape; once wore out the asphalt on the Prescott/Highland strip for organ lessons and John David Prescott. |

B.S., M.A., D.A. (less thesis).
An Alabama native, Jim has played bass over thirty years, playing in orchestra, big bands, jazz, folk, and bluegrass groups. His playing style has influenced the bass in bluegrass groups across the southeast and his teaching produced a "Bluegrass Unlimited" Magazine most promising bass player. In The Gael Force Band, Jim carries the rhythm using his unique bass playing abilities. |

Charismatic front man of The Gael Force Band. The son of an Air Force officer, Dave learned his unique skills at the tutelage of Irish pub owner, John Kenny, in Kaiserlautern, Germany. His first guitar (which he stills plays) was a gift for his sixteenth birthday from his uncle, Patrick Flynn, who called it a "dating aid". He has played extensively across Europe and the U.S. Dave is rapidly becoming known within the tri-state region of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee for his blend of folk, blues, bawdy ballads, and original pieces. He has performed professionally for over three years now and has pooled the talents of his friends to form one of the only working Irish folk bands in the mid-South. |
