Fire in the Glen doesn't hold back at its performances, where audiences can't seem to help tapping their toes, clapping and singing along and even trying their hand (foot?) at step-dancing!!

These dedicated musicians are making a bold effort to bring Irish, Scottish and Maritime music, as well as their own brand of "Celtic eclectic" accents, to south-central Pennsylvania. A Fire in the Glen performance means a lively presentation of blistering fiddle tunes, mug-thumping pub songs and soulful ballads and airs. Band founder, fiddler and bodhranist Tom Knapp is joined onstage by Amanda Wells on guitar, percussion and vocals, and Rod Nevin on Highland bagpipes, Scottish smallpipes, pennywhistle, ukulele and vocals, for a lively, mug-thumping show!
