Maggie's Flock

Maggie’s Flock are a six piece band from the mid-eastern part of the Netherlands. They play celtic folkrock, a mix of Irish traditional music and rock.

Kees Hink-accordion
Hub Rasker-drums
Gijs Nielen-bass
Roel Seidell-vocals and whistles
Edwin Steenstra-guitars
René Boerrigter- fiddle and mandolin

Their bandname name is based upon the legend of Maggie of the Moor, a ghostly sheperdess who roams the moors at night. She captures the soul of every sinner she meets, and adds it to her flock of evil sheep.
Hence the sheepshead with the ‘evil eyes’ logo is chosen as their trademark image.

Maggie’s Flock have built a repertoire of over 25 songs, all of which are own material.
Their songs have narrative lyrics about booze, chaos, romance and death, often with a twist of black humour and irony.
Influenced by musical heroes such as The Pogues, Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy’s the band have developed heir own distinctive sound: A potent blend of traditonal Scottish/Irish folk carried by tin whistle, accordion banjolin and bouzouki, mixed with a solid rocksound of drums, bass and guitar.
Distinctive are their uplifting songs with catchy folktunes that are unleashed upon the audience at the speed of a runaway train.

In 2020 the band released their first album"Party At The Cemetery".
