“Say it with a song”

keri - surface fest 2008

A fresh spiral of eclectic rock...

Keltrix are an energetic five-piece band, famed for pumping the audience into a frenzy, Keltrix are led by Keri, an eccentric yet enigmatic singer songwriter, defying the model of folk rock through an unsullied and cool blend of harmonious explosion.

Keltrix have graced stages in England, Scotland and Wales to much acclaim and are incredibly active on the festival circuit appearing at such events as, Secret Garden Party, Small World, Sunrise, Knockengorroch and Strawberry Fair and proudly supported acts including Mark Chadwick (Levellers), Shooglenifty, Inner Terrestrials and Tarantism.

This busy schedule has seen the band go from strength to strength firmly establishing themselves on the local circuit in Cambridgeshire before reaching out further afield. The odd change of line up here and there aside; the focus of Keltrix has always remained the same… Say it with a song!

Keltrix are also able to perform cut down acoustic sets for more intimate venues and Keri can be found performing solo wherever her travels take her.

Reviews

  • That brilliant band, and foot stomping warriors KELTRIX. This five piece band from Cambridge have played in the Boro before both at the Onion and Unity to great response and always win new fans every time. They will take you on a joyous journey through folk, reggae, funk, dub and rock with a beautiful celtic twist. Having built up their reputation as true party starters throughout the country at every festival you can name there wont be a stationary pair of feet in the house once these guys get going. Their cunning mix of old folk traditions and contempory dance styles makes them a band who appeal to people of all ages and musical backgrounds and they are not to be missed.

  • Finishing the night with a soothing set that oozed both passion and drama were Keltrix. Making music that had a Celtic twang courtesy of the violin but the shifted itself altogether with a dose of Ska, they dropped in different influences with an exquisite nonchalance without ever sounding out of place. They had an eccentric air about them and that came off as their USP - they weren't out to follow the mainstream unless individuality ever became polpular...Keltrix instantly injected the room with a uniquely magic atmosphere. Singer Keri has an expert milky warm voice.
