Bio / Background
Burning Bridget Cleary
Burning Bridget Cleary took form on St. Patty's day of 2006 when Genevieve Gillespie (now 16), daughter of Tom and Alison Gillespie (Celtic band - Blackwater) joined forces with the father-daughter duo, Lou Baldino and Rose Baldino (now 17). This combo sparks a blaze of Celtic sound that is perceived way beyond the sum of its parts! The girls front the band with their fiery fiddles, bringing a lively flair of youthful intensity and exuberance to traditional tunes, "like youthful Natalie McMasters" (Jodi Duckett of the Morning Call, 11/25/06). Lou's guitar adds the dynamic rhythm and bass end, tastefully embellished with distinctive chording. Weaving in some vocal numbers and building the energy with spirited stepdancing, Burning Bridget Cleary has wowed audiences at the Scottish-Irish Fest in Green Lane, PA, the 2006 Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA, and the 2007 Winter Celtic Classic at the Stabler Arena of Lehigh University.
↓ more ↓Rose and Genna met three years ago at Granny McCarthy's Irish music sessions in Bethlehem - both have been first-place trophy winners in the Celtic Classic fiddle competitions. Their debut CD, "Catharsis", was released at the Green Lane Scottish-Irish Festival, generating record sales!
Last September, they were the opening act for both "Halali" and "Old Blind Dogs", and have been getting airplay in Allentown and Philadelphia, PA. By popular demand, a second CD Debut Release Concert was scheduled and sold out on November 19, 2006, at Godfrey Daniels Club in Bethlehem, PA. Here's what Larry Roeder of the "Hearthstone Town and Country" had to say,
" . . . Listening to their lively Celtic reels and jigs had my foot and heart tapping. Their ballads were warm and beautiful.
The group was having a party on Sunday at Godfrey Daniels to celebrate the release of their first CD. Titled "Catharsis," it truly is an emotional release through music. . .
Their on-stage energy is infectious and their mastery of the fiddle borders on brilliant . . . "
The band is named in honor of Bridget Cleary, who is remembered as the last witch burned in Ireland. She was a vivacious and fashionable young woman who lived during the late 19th century. Believing that her flu symptoms were caused by evil faeries, her deranged husband and family members burned Bridget to death. They were later convicted of murder.
Rose and Genna, both lively and fashionable young women, related to Bridget's spirit by composing "Burning Bridget Cleary", an original tune found as Track #10 on their CD.
