Masa Kikuchi

Originally starting with Comhaltas, Masa quickly mastered the whistle, flute, bodhran, accordion and pipes before joining The Gypsy Rovers. Masa's contribution of these traditional Irish instruments brings a unique dimension to Farraige's sound!

Mike Burley

Mike Burley has been performing on guitar and bass for over 20 years. During the 90's he played for some of the city's most popular bands at the time such as Diamondback, Sue Hachey and Rampage and into 2000 with The Jessica Rhaye Band, and has opened for stars such as Randy Bachman, Blue Rodeo, Dr Hook, Trooper, The Headpins, Crush, Gowan, David Wilcox, Kim Mitchell, Glass Tiger, and Creedence Clearwater Revival during their Canadian tours.

Keith Facey

Keith studied classical violin as a child; finding that too limiting, he switched to mandolin and pursued his interests in ethnic music, also practicing the Balalaika and Greek Bouzouki. He joined Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann in 2006, and continues to practice Celtic music as a member of Farraige
