KISS THE MISTRESS

 

Kiss The Mistress is based around the longstanding musical partnership of Ginny Davis and John Ramirez. Formed in late 2007, the combination of 'cello/voice and chromatic button accordion is underpinned by the driving rhythmical counterpoint of bodhran provided by Roy Jones. Between them they create a sound that is unique, dynamic and firmly rooted within Gaelic traditions. With skilfully crafted arrangements they perform their own self penned work and carefully chosen traditional material, celebrating the breadth of pan European music.
