Event Description
"Kelt Eccleston" ----- Kelt joined the Story Theatre Company, and collaborated with them for seven years, creating scripts and composing music for their touring shows, as well as being a featured performer.
Together with the band, The Ecclestons, Kelt record four CDs, containing original songs and unique arrangements of traditional Celtic music and Celtic arrangements of popular tunes. One of these arrangements, a Celtic version of ‘Staying Alive’, earned a place on the popular CBC Radio show, ‘Madly off in All Directions’. Kelt enjoyed regular airplay on CBC and many other radio stations, and toured throughout North America for ten years. In between tours, Kelt turned from stage to film, where he composed several independent film scores, acted in numerous feature films, and guest starred on TV shows such as Cold Squad and Hollywood Off-Ramp.
As a musician, Kelt is a unique and prolific songwriter. He is comfortable with practically any genre of music, and writes Blues, Ska, Reggae, punk, country, pop and Rock with a thorough understanding of each.
