What's the Rumpus? is a wild party of an album, full of colorful characters and stories, flavored with that unique up-beat Gaelic Storm celtic/world music sound that gets you dancing and never lets you go. With instruments from African drums and Irish bagpipes to trombones and cajun style accordions, Gaelic Storm has created a three ring circus of acrobatic songs, swirling tunes and galloping rhythms. What's The Rumpus? is as satisfying as a good pint of Guinness; a care-free and infectious feel-good time.
Gaelic Storm once again delivers their unique acoustic world/celtic sound with original songs crafted so tightly that they may well become standards. With 14 brand new tracks about gypsies, sailors, legendary drinkers, moonshiners, ne’er-do-wells, rogues and ramblers including fiery fiddle tunes, roaring pipe tunes, sea shanties and raucous sing-alongs, this sixth studio album from one of world music’s premier live acts is a must-have! It’s a storm you won’t mind getting caught in, just don’t forget to “bring yer wellies!”
