Sheryl MacKay - Host of North By Northwest on CBC Radio


The first time I heard The Streels, I was struck by their energy, their great sound, their love of the music, and the fun they were having playing together. Their first CD, A Night on the Marge, shows how they can put a Streels stamp on some of the standards, and make new songs that sound like they've been sung for centuries. Lorne Warr's vocals on Wild Mountain Thyme are brilliant, always leading listeners to write in to ask who is singing. Plus their musical version of The Cremation of Sam McGee should be declared a Canadian classic. The Streels make me want to sing along and dance... and when they play, I don't want them to stop.

I find The Streels to be great interpreters of celtic and folk music. I play them frequently on my Celtic Connection show on CFBX radio in Kamloops, British Columbia. I have seen them here in Kamloops and they are a pleasure to see and watch, with such great stage presentation.
