SCOTLAND INFO
The Glengarry Bhoys have the lowest price, best trips, better than anything out there.
so raise your glass, pop on those dancing shoes, we are on our way to Graham's home land - East to west, North to south the Bhoys have you covered.
From a small Scots / French Canadian enclave in eastern Ontario, Glengarry County has
produced many world-class Celtic acts over the decades.
In 1998 two local members of the Cornwall Police Service, Graham Wright and G. S. (Zig) Leroux, started the
Glengarry Bhoys.
Their humble beginnings has led them to 250,000 record sales; appearances on BBC, PBS, Canada AM (4 times);
the Mike Bullard Show (5 times); Toronto Breakfast TV; good morning Dallas; Louisville Roots TV;
Lexington Ky's world renown "Woodsongs Radio"; regular record play on major AAA music stations the world over;
successful tours of Ireland (4 times) and Scotland (3 times); concert tours from Newfoundland
to Alberta and from New Mexico to Oregon, from Florida to Maine.
These Universal Records "alternative-Celt-roots-artists": a marquis act at most major festivals and
concert halls throughout North America; have now won the much coveted2009 "Celtic Instrumental Songwriters
Award" for their recent "Mill Sessions" album.
This award from the U.S. based - "Music Organization for Folk Artists" - received more than 3000 submissions
for this much acclaimed award. It is billed as the "World's Largest Grassroots Music Organization / Home of the
World's Largest Music Awards". www.jpfolks.com
With 51,000 members: songwriters, recording artists, and music business professionals,
the Glengarry Bhoys were the winners, but unfortunately, due to a tour in Virginia that week,
they were unable to attend.
Present Members are: Graham Wright, Zig Leroux, D'Arcy Furniss, and Stephen McIntosh (all from SD&G)
"After all these years we still get a kick of playing our Glengarry style of Celtic music wherever we go.
Getting well paid for it is an added bonus, and to receive such a prestigious award is extremely gratifying"
says Graham Wright.
