Dave Cook
- Guitar and Lead Vocals

Dave has been a singer/songwriter since his teenage years, and has toured with a number of local westcoast groups. Having strong Scottish heritage, the Celtic melodies and rhythms are in his blood. His earliest musical memories include, hearing his grandmother singing songs of the old country (Kirkcaldy, Scotland),and watching Don Messer's Jubilee on television. Listeners always enjoy Dave's guitar antics as he does the Highland fling on his 12-string.



Woody Wilson - Irish Wooden Flute

As a flute player for many years, Woody concentrated exclusively on Classical music until the early 90’s when he became interested in Celtic music through the medium of traditional dance. The Celtic wave continued its surge in his life until it crested in 2001, at which point he laid aside his silver flute and bought the first of his three Irish flutes, handmade by M & E Flutes in County Mayo, Eire. The jig is up, and his reel world has never been the same.




Kim Cook - Fiddle

Kim’s love of the fiddle and Celtic music in general was inherited from her grandfather who emigrated from County Armagh, Ireland. Having a brief encounter with the classical genre, she quickly became frustrated and turned her violin into a fiddle by trading Minuets for Jigs. Her musical influences include Jerry Holland, Richard Wood, Maurice Lennon, Shooglenifty, and the wonderfully creative, and talented people she plays in Cookeilidh with. Kim plays a "Bradivarius" fiddle, handmade by Bradley Higgins of Hartford, NY.





Tom Pogson - Bass and Vocals

Tom has been playing and studying bass since he was 20 years old. Tom is also an accomplished guitar player and songwriter. Because of his love for song writing he has been known to multitrack drums, guitar, bass and vocals (and a few items found from around the house; tribute Depeche Mode). Although Tom’s love of music started with Classic Rock, British Pop and Alternative, today his tastes include almost every genre and a new found understanding and appreciation for the world of celtic music.
