GUEST BOOK The Guestbook is BACK! Post your own entry to our guestbook. My friends and I all went to Fado's last night for my birthday because we knew you guys would be playing. You kick ass. Thanks for making my birthday so much fun. Marissa from Washington, D.C. October 20, 2006 You kids Make me happy- I wish you would frequent the midwest area a little more..... Cat from Marion, Iowa October 20, 2006 Wow - what a performance at Stout this past Saturday! I was visiting a friend of mine in NYC, and she took me to see you guys. Such a fantastic show - lots of great energy!! The bars where I'm from (Texas) close at 2 a.m. so I couldn't imagine I could stay up past then. But I was so wrong! The show was so amazing that we stayed till the bar closed at 4!! Thanks for such a great time. I doubt you guys would ever make it as far south as Houston, but if you do, I'll come to see you!! Stephanie from Houston, Texas October 18, 2006 I never miss your Philly-area shows and am very much looking forward to the upcoming Brittingham's show. But what is up with the lack of pictures being posted of the Brittingham's shows? Come on, lads, the Philly people want to see themselves on your site as much as the DC people do! And will you serenade us with the Rattlin' Bog this time around? It's been a while. Katie from West Chester, Pennsylvania October 11, 2006 Eye candy and ear candy on the same night! I was a lucky girl last week. Seriously, the music is fabulous, thank you for a rockin' time, keep it up because i'm going to make it to more of your Thursday night shows. B from Washington, D.C. October 11, 2006 To be honest, your band was a name among a whole list of bands to chose from during the Milwaukee Irish fest this past summer...and yours jumped out at me b/c I happen to be a fan of nomadic steppe tribes--in a rather indirect sense;)...thus, after subjecting my boyfriend to yet another diabtribe on how awesome and fascinating the horse-lords of the steppe were, we decided to stop by the tent you were playing at and...well...you've established a following in Chicago (even if we were in Milwaukee instead)...I can't even describe how heart-thumping, foot-stomping, jig-reel-inducing your melodies are...each one of your tunes is like a mini-stroke of celtic-Ectasy...thus, we went to hear you in McGinty's this past week--the couple from Chicago who flew into Raleigh-Durham, and drove up to DC to hear you all play Oct 6th--what a privledge;)...don't worry, we're not stalkers, we just really loved your music;)...I hope you guys keep spinning the truly wonderful sounds you've managed to create--bardic in the truest sense of the art, and so fresh...and i absolutely hope you all never loose the grass-roots-i-ness of what you do, no matter how big you get;)...I will light candles to your patron saint of fiddles and scythians in the hope you'll come to chicago in the not so distant future...I'm not sure, with all the irish bars out here, how they could not have heard your rhythms blowing in from the east coast;)...Cheers and much luck to getting more people off their booties and dancing!!;) We hope to see you all again in action!! Bonnie from Chicago, Illinois October 9, 2006 What a fantastic concert at Franciscan University on September 30th! As a class of 1980, "older" alumni, I thoroughly enjoyed your music and the dancing! Thanks lads! Debbie from Amarillo, Texas October 9, 2006 I saw you guys in Frederick, fell in love with the fiddle, and saw you again at McGinty's last night. You are great - wish I could go to every single one of your shows!!! Cirila from Clarksburg, Maryland October 7, 2006 Hey, you guys totally rocked Franciscan U. It was great having you guys come up. People up here are talking about it, and really want you guys back. Thanks for a great show! Katie from Steubenville, Ohio October 3, 2006 I saw you guys at the Muskegon Irish Music Festival in Michigan and you guys rock. You just didnt treat it as another show. I liked how you got the crowd to join in the action kinda. Ben from Muskegon, Michigan October 2, 2006 Saw you fellas at The Harp n Fiddle in bethesda with some guys from the DCFD. (bagpipers) Good drinkin with ya and i'll see you boys on the 8th at McGinty's God Bless! Aaron from Washingon, D.C. October 1, 2006 Saw you at music fest, fell in love and now cant wait to see you back in PA at the end of October. Thank you for giving me a reason to dance again Lucy from erwinna, Pennsylvania October 1, 2006 Hey fellas! I caught your regular Thursday night gig at Fado's and I am speechless! Yall really know how to get the crowd into it and the music is the best I've heard since I moved up here! Keep up the good work and I will definately see yall NEXT Thursday :) Anya from Arlington, Virginia September 30, 2006 Smokin--you were the best of the entire venue in Fredericks Friday lunch concerts.

Fighting I-95 traffic all the way to Frederick...2.5 hours. Making it just in time to hear OBSpecial...priceless. Lisa from Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania September 29, 2006 Saw you at the Santana concert at the Nissan Pavilion. I wish I'd known about you guys earlier. As a dabbler in int'l folk and Irish music, I have to say that you guys are fantastic. Unfortunately we just left the DC area and are relocating to Cork, Ireland. We'll keep an eye on your tour dates to see when Cork comes up! Josh from Alexandria, Virginia September 29, 2006 PLEASE come back to Frederick as soon as possible! You guys are fantastic -- and we've got loads of venues for you. The fans will come ...! And thanks again for playing Ella's favorite song.

All of you performed wonderfully! As I sat under the gazebo in the VIP lounge at Nissan, I really enjoyed how your music connected with your audience (which you drew quite a few admirers, including myself). I love to listen to music from all different cultures of the world blended to make one unique sound especially one you can dance too! Danylo, I took pleasure in watching you play the accordeion because my grandfather used to play in a Panamian folklore group. Loved it! Thanks, guys! Your doing an awesome job! Love to see you here in Warrenton, VA. Mary from Warrenton, Virginia September 27, 2006 I just heard your music and its Great! My sister Mae Wolfe who went to Fransician University - She said the fiddle player went there as well But anyway i am a Violin Major at App State university and i also play the pipes ... and hope to get a set of Uilleann Pipes!!! maybe you'll see me one day Jacob from Tryon, North Carolina September 27, 2006 You guys were awesome at the Santana concert! You're something like a Old Blind Dogs (one of my favorite bands) with an American flavor. I was sorry I didn't bring my trebles because you made me want to dance! Elysia from Manassas, Virginia September 27, 2006 I saw you guys for the first time last night at the VIP lounge at Nissan for the Santana concert and I was blown away. Your perfomance was the highlight of my night and I enjoyed you moreso than Santana himself. Awesome job guys, you have really developed an eclectic and unique vibe. Stacy from Charlottesville, Virginia September 27, 2006 SICK shows in Wildwood guys...especially the parts I remember. John from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania September 26, 2006 You guys were awesome at the Bolero Friday night..especially when Blackthorn came on with you guys!

We always look forward to our Scythian weeekends at Brittingham's - you NEVER dissapoint. Yes, we know that you were there one night only; it just takes us the rest of the weekend for us to recover from all the food, drink, and dancing. No regrets! Thank you giving your all every time we see you! P.S. - Keep thinking about that 2 year thing - w/ or w/out instruments; it would be an honor to share another good time with you all. Brian & Laura Lane Brian & Laura from Boyertown, Pennsylvania September 10, 2006 Damn good fun in West Chester. Hurry back.

Mary from Thorndale, Pennsylvania September 7, 2006 Just so you are aware- my little Mary wouldn't listen to any CD other than yours during our trip back to NC.

Courtney from Providence, Rhode Island September 6, 2006 You guys rock, HARD! Some friends and I saw you at the Minnesota Irish Fair in August '06, and it's safe to say you have a new and very exhuberant group of fans! PLEASE, come to Irish Fair in Minnesota again next year; we need your kind of energy! Also, if you are in the midwest sometime and want to play an off the hook college set, look them up at Luther College; you guys would tear the place up! Wade from Decorah, Iowa August 29, 2006 Just so you guys know... the kids in Ukraine love your music. I'm now a Peace Corps volunteer here and sharing both some Irish music and dance with my students. Can't wait to see you play again when I get home next June! Meg from Ukraine but from, D.C. August 28, 2006 If you and "Flogging Molly" were to be pitted together in a deathmatch, you could win the trophy without breaking a sweat. I love your music. Keep it up, lads! Random Scythian Fan from St. Paul , Minnesota August 27, 2006 Your music spans the generations! What a fun evening for our family at the outdoor concert in Herndon VA. My daughter remembered some Irish dancing steps from her childhood! Thank you for sharing your talents. Keep on playing and we will look for you again! Georgi Georgi from Annandale, Virginia July 20, 2006 Your music spans the generations! What a fun evening for our family at the outdoor concert in Herndon VA. My daughter remembered some Irish dancing steps from her childhood! Thank you for sharing your talents. Keep on playing and we will look for you again! Georgi Georgi from Annandale, Virginia July 20, 2006 You guys just get better every time we see you! Hubby and I saw two of your shows at the Celtic Fling last Saturday and were again totally blown away by your talent and energy! We've seen you guys play at Brittingham's before and loved you so much, we've been playing your cd in our house pretty regularly. Needless to say, you've become a family favorite and even our 9 year old daughter was psyched to see you at the Fling. She's already asking when she gets to go to another Scythian concert! Thanks again for making our weekend! The Lane Family from Boyertown, Pennsylvania July 1, 2006 Saw you @ the Celtic Fling, Sat. 6/25. You were GREAT!!!! Very disappointed to hear you will not be @ Celtic Music Fest. My 14 yr. old grandson & 8 yr. old grandaughter loved your music. Got the grandson a t-shirt and CD. My grandson informed me that he went to a Nickelback concert and you were far and away much better!!! They are taking their shirt, CD & stickers back to FL. the end of July and will spread the word about you. We hope to see you again when you are near PA. Diann from Lebanon, Pennsylvania June 30, 2006 Hello Lovely Scythain Boys: I hope this finds you all well. I have a lovely surprise/idea for you. Shall send you a pic this week on it.

What a day with the absolute best in Celtic Rock...I've never heard Scythian sound so good - singing lessons lads? Clan from Pasadena, Maryland June 29, 2006 Word up freaks! This is George from Icewagon Flu. It was an honor jamming with you at the Fling. It was real rock n roll. Doc Slides from Hoboken, New Jersey June 29, 2006 We finally got a band on the Swashbuckler Stage that we can listen to in the shop all day long! (We're right next door, so we hear it all.) You guys were a pleasure to listen to- keep up the hard work, and please come back and see us at Faire again soon! Sandy (of the Bashful Dragon) from Manheim, Pennsylvania June 28, 2006 My daughter and I went to the Pa Celtic Fling last weekend expecting to have a good time. Well we had a great time. We were standing at the pub for your first set on Sat. Went over and sat down and immediately was up on our feet clapping and dancing. We hit all your shows that day but the best was the concert at the end of the night when you all where jamming what a party. We could only stay for 1 of your sets on Sunday but we weren't going to miss it. We bought both CD's and you guys sign them. Thanks. What a great time. We'll be seeing you in Wildwood, NJ. A new fan Barb from Verga, New Jersey June 28, 2006 Great show saturday at Celtic Fling. We went to see Blackthorn and were pleasantly surprised by your show! Definitely a great time and can't wait till my wife and I can catch a show when you guys come to Philly. Great energy and an all around great time. Thanks again! Joe from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania June 27, 2006 Saw you perform at CELTIC FLING this past wknd. You guys blew me away! after the first set saturday, i spent the rest of the day telling my friends "You'v GOT to catch these guys!". You've definitely jumped onto my top 5 list. Hoping to catch you again soon.

Keep up the GREAT work and pray you all make it larger than life! Gail from York, Pennsylvania June 26, 2006 Saw you guys on Sunday at Celtic Fling...YOU WERE AMAZING!!!

Mike from Elkton, Maryland June 26, 2006 Well, you guys blew me away at Celtic Fling this weekend. Every time I ran into another friend of mine I dragged them over to see one of your shows. Look forward to dancing for you guys again! -Hilary, dancing girl with the tiger tattoo Hilary from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania June 26, 2006 I'm not stalking you, I promise..but you guys were absolutely fantastic...I really will come see you again at another venue sometime....Thanks for making my weekend at the Celtic Fling even better! :) Take care! Erin (that dalmore & laphroaig scotch girl) from York, Pennsylvania June 25, 2006 I just got home from the Celtic Fling no more than 10 minutes ago and couldn't wait to log on to your site. You guys were awesome this weekend! You have so much talent, and it was evident that you enjoy the time you spend on stage. I hope you continue to perform at the Celtic Fling because you can be sure you'll have people coming just to see YOU. stacy from warminster, Pennsylvania June 25, 2006 We just had our first close encounter with Scythian at the Celtic Fling and Highland Games in Cornwall, PA. Can't say enough good things about you. We thoroughly enjoyed your shows and can't wait for the next chance to experience the talent, energy and full-on fun that is Scythian. Jeana from Frederick, Maryland June 25, 2006 We saw two of your performances at the Celtic Fling and loved your music! You guys are on your way to big things, your talent is incredible and your stage presence is mesmerizing! You were the best band there!! We look forward to seeing you perform again! Tammy and Jim from Wrightsville, Pennsylvania June 25, 2006 The fun and energy you provided at the Celtic Fling in Cornwall, was spectacular!!! I think the thing that amazing me the most, is seeing the smiles and happiness you provide to everyone at every show. That definitely is the meaning of word success!!! I can't wait to see you in August at the Midwest Celtic Festivals. Keep smiling and having fun,for new friends will always appear every time I see you. Pamela from Berwyn, Pennsylvania June 25, 2006 WOW! Your show at nottoway was AWESOME!!! We loved the variety and all the kids dancing, and how lively it was. you guys are very talented. good luck--well try to see you again! Emily from Herndon, Virginia June 22, 2006 Saw you guys for the first time at the Potomac Celtic Festival. I had a large group (all ages)that come in for the festival and they LOVED every minute of your show. We had to get up and get close to the stage. We all also purchased your cds, loved them and listen to them in the car. My sisters want to come back and see you in the club. I was glad they put the best band on first at the festival. Hope you come back next year. You guys are GREAT!! Leigh from Leesburg, Virginia June 22, 2006 Fellas, I gotta say… the show was SPECTACULAR! I have honestly never danced so much in my life, and the fact that I could barely walk for three days afterward was totally worth it! The Celtic Festival was the perfect beginning to my summer, and it was all the more amazing because of you. I must admit I was a little skeptical about how much I’d like your performance after hearing your clips online, but they simply don’t do justice to your on-stage energy. I can see why you got more audience response than the Prodigals; you really connect with your audience, even to the point of dancing with them! (Remember the gal in the green shirt, Dan?). Thank you all so much for the pictures and the great show! Haley from McLean, Virginia June 21, 2006 My goodness. I have never felt so terrible. With swollen hands and exhaustion, memories of your performance at the Potomac Celtic Festival were the only thing to assuage my miserbale state. Your music is amazing, never have i heard so much interpretation from the fiddle! Your interpretation of 'Wild Thing' is certianly something that i would never expect from a celtic-based group. I dragged my friends and family to the festival, and now they are in celtic euphoria thanks to you. I have never danced or clapped so much in one night in my entire life, and I have you and your inspiring music to thank for it. You were very kind to pose with my friends and I for a photo, we appreciate your congenialtiy. The 'all ages events' are tantalizing for young fiddlers such as myself, please keep up the festivals, and thank you for an amazing show! P.S. I thought you were better than the Prodigals. Paula from Great Falls, Virginia June 18, 2006 I was able to catch one of your gigs a couple of Thursdays ago at Fado while in DC for a flying visit. Best $5 cover I ever spent. Keep up the great work. Mark from Thousand Oaks, California June 18, 2006 Hey Guys! Just wanted to say thank you so much for your music. Andrew had such a ball when you let him get up on stage with you guys, and I know it was a dream come true for him as well as all of the other kids, whose lives you made such an impact in. There are so many smiles that the pictures I took could never capture, and I thank you for the love you showed each one of those kids. Keep playing and sharing your gift of music to the world. God blessed you guys with amazing talent! Hope to see you at a show sometime, you gotta come visit New Hampshire :-) Be Blessed! ~Amanda Amanda from Mont Vernon, New Hampshire June 15, 2006 Hooray, you finally came back to Philly at Brittingham's. Brought new friends/fans to see your show, and we all had a dancing great time. See you soon at the Celtic Fling. Pamela from Berwyn, Pennsylvania June 11, 2006 Hey Guys! Thanks for making Kenny and Amy's wedding so much fun! All of us really enjoyed your music and I am just hoping you'll find a way to travel to Louisville, KY for a fun time. We Louisvillians love Irish drinking music! Good luck with your band, and I hope to see you live soon! Amy Quinlan Amy from Louisville, Kentucky June 5, 2006 Whats up dudes! Ri Ra's rocked. You will be missed at Fado's this thursday!!! Pat from Rockville , Maryland May 31, 2006 YOU FELLAS ROCKED MY SOCKS (and non-dancing shoes) LAST NITE AT STOUT!! thankyouthankyouthankyou for a most entertaining, fabulous, and memorable time, and for chatting it up with me post-show! i will be there to dance to your voices and songs the next time around...just look down for the asian blond =) ~karen karen from new york, New York May 28, 2006 So guys....I have a question. When might you have a new album coming out? Just curious. I honestly think a live album would be awesome because studio recordings sometimes just don't do justice to the talent you all have. Carrie from McLean, Virginia May 26, 2006 Got to yer site from the The Fuchsia Band (www.thefuchsiaband.com who'll be playing in the Minnesota Irish Fair with ye. Great bunch o' lads with a fantastic sound and incredible front man. Great site and sounds. Have a great summer and maybe I'll hear ye in Mn, Steve Hmmm, Seeing as how Co. Cork is still Ireland I'll leave it was Cork Montana Siofain from Cork, Montana May 25, 2006 Scythian!!! I recently came home for the Summer and I miss Thursdays at Fado already!!!! I found myself getting very thirsty early on in the day and I had an extreme desire to break out into a jig; It was very difficult not having my weekly dose of Celtic Rock served up with pure energy and enthusiasm to pick me up!!! Seriously, guys...keep on putting on amazing shows and maybe you could head up to the Albany, NY area...~Libby (A regular at Fado and Scythian Fan from Catholic) Libby from Rensselaer, New York May 21, 2006 Hey Mikey-O! Don't forget your homies from back home! I miss you! The tracks you guys have online ROCK! I can't wait to come see you- live in Cleveland, perhaps? I'm adding my email to your list- shoot me a line if you get a minute- I miss you very much! Michelle from Cleveland, Ohio May 15, 2006 Dear Scythian, I first heard you at the Naval Academy last November. I love my Irish heritage and was ecstatic to find out you were going to be in town for my birthday at Mick OSheas. My birthday was a rough one this year (lost a family member) but you and my friends made it a memorable one - Thank you, Erin Erin from Baltimore, Maryland May 14, 2006 Where or where is Scythian? We miss you in Pennsylvania, for the May Kildare shows were cancelled. :( Dan wishes for a speedy recovery for a June show at Brittingham's is just around the corner. The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us. -Ashley Montagu So hurry back to Pennsylvania soon. Pamela from Berwyn, Pennsylvania May 13, 2006 Oh great foaming pint in the sky, would that I were not down in Ecuador for two years of Peace Corps service but back among the blessed oaken arms of Fado in DC, where each and every Thursday flowers bloom and angels fart and the best live music this side of the other side be played by four of the fun-lovingest gentlemen that ever did walk the earth. I miss you guys. Play on, little men, play on. Benito from The Equator, D.C. May 11, 2006 Saw my first Scythian show...Sober that is, and your still awesome sober. My Bro on the other hand puked up Shepard's Pie, thankfully not in my car. Poor boy's first show, he didn't know what he was getting himself into - see you at Brits in June. Danny from West Chester/Newtown Square, Pennsylvania May 2, 2006 As always you guys are a lot of FUN!!!! We saw you once again at Brittingham's and as always danced our hearts out. We can't wait to see you in June. Thanks guys Jamie from Ardsley, Pennsylvania May 1, 2006 Saw you last night at Brittingham's Pub. Fantastic!!!I enjoyed the extra accordian number. My only disappointment to the evening was arriving to late and missing your 1st set, but was able to purchase one of those fashionable shirts. There is only one success, to spend your life in your own way. -Christopher Morley Pamela from Berwyn, Pennsylvania April 30, 2006 just went to your show in west chester last week and it was fantastic. at the beginning I was pissed cause of the 5bucks entry fee (didn't know you guys were comin) but afterwards I thought - should have been at least 20 dollars! anyway...great job! hey and where are the pictures you promised to upload? I'm back in germany and wanna see them:-) cu you again! all the best from europe, matt matt from germany, Pennsylvania April 24, 2006 Fellas, Caught your show last night at Stouts in NYC.

Hope to see you guys when I get back, and no, I still dont know how to ski, snowboard, or skate or anything about it. Have a great easter, greatings from the sand box, Jose, the long lost ex-coworker. Jose from Tq, Iraq, Virginia April 13, 2006 Lads, Awesome opening show at McGinty's last Saturday. I was the guy who asked for the "Mohican Theme" and then danced like a fool to it, of course - still can't believe you covered that one - incredible! Thanks for the great music and, from what I remember, the carbombs weren't bad either! See you at the next... Scott from Laurel, Maryland April 6, 2006 Laddies, Congrats on your McGinty's grand opening gigs! The energy was ecstaticly intoxicating or intoxicatingly exstatic or intaxtically entixated, well you get the idea, but it was a pleasure to experience. Also Happy One Year to your FANTASTIC Drummer Mikey...way to move us with your rockin nuances!!! Finally, would you please let poor Steve get some rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;l Anne from Spriingfield, Virginia April 2, 2006 Need some pics from the Sat Paddy's Feast in Philly - on March 18th.

Dan from Newtown Square, Pennsylvania March 24, 2006 Ah, lads, just looking at your summer lineup gives me the goosebumps - all those outdoor venues! - I can hardly wait. You've already established yourselves as a tambourine-banging rowdy bar band without rival, but this summer you'll show us that you're a dance-barefoot-under-the-tilting-stars band, too. See you there -- I'll be the one with the bells on her ankles and the flowers in her hair. :) Lauren from Silver Spring, Maryland March 23, 2006 AAAAAEYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!#$%^!!!!

TOMMY AND CAROL WILSON TOMMY from ORELAND, Pennsylvania March 20, 2006 "I survived St. Paddy's Day with Scythian"...can we get some t-shirts made up, please???? St. Paddy's Day = fun St. Paddy's Day in NYC = lots o' fun St. Paddy's Day in NYC @Stout, on a Friday, with Scythian, playing from 5pm till after midnight = One tough Saturday!! I honestly can't remember having that much fun, for so many hours, and can still remember just about everything that happened...well, er, let me take that back, I think I remember. What I will always remember, and hope to tell my grandkids one day, is that I had the best St. Patricks Day of my life in 2006...with great friends, great beer, and one great band whose performance got me dancing while the sun was still shining! See you in April! Donna from Jersey City, New Jersey March 20, 2006 Boys, you are, yet again, the epitome of all that is fun and kind. I had a blast this past weekend, and even came home with a little sunburn(the nickname Red starts to make more sense at a time like this). I hope you guys get some rest before this weekend. St. Paddy's day will not be the same without you. But alas Montreal is calling our names, and we must paint the town red. amalia from washington, D.C. March 14, 2006 Excitement,amazing, and crowd pleasing entertainment. Wow, I finally had the opportunity to see you again las night at Brittingham's Irish Pub.

Docterry of the Greystone Ramblers Terry from West Chester, Pennsylvania December 4, 2005 300 friends, a mansion in Philly, the thrilling mystery of a masquerade ball, live music and dancing wildly in formal attire until the wee hours of the new year... Sounds like the best possible way to ring in 2006. This is the kind of party it would be a nothing short of a tragedy to miss: a no-holds-barred, "Did I really do that?!?"/"Oh yes, yes you did...", leave-your-inhibitions-at-the-door and your-sorrows-out-in-the-street-somewhere, shimmy-like-your-life-depends-on-it, just have a *riiiidiculous* good time party. Only you, lads - only you. May Philadelphia talk about it for YEARS to come.

Of course I told her I wanted to burn the cds. Of course she said GO right ahead! But then I thought I better just buy them from you.

Jenn from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania September 28, 2005 The jam session with Blackthorn on Sunday night at Irish Weekend in North Wildwood, NJ was one of the greatest I have ever heard.
