Natural Gas is a four-piece group.  They have a gigantic repertoire from slow and plaintive love songs to lively sea shanties to rousing ballads, poetry and recitations and lively dance music played on a wide range of instruments including fiddle, uilleann pipes, guitar, tin whistle, accordion, harmonica, bass and bodhran. Although their roots are firmly based in traditional music, the band has no problem in traversing all musical styles.  They’re quite at home performing covers like Neil Young’s ‘Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World’ or L.L. Cool J’s rap anthem ‘I need Love’ easily blending jigs and reels with these songs to put their own stamp on them.  Many tales, not all of them repeatable, abound as to where the band derived their name.  One sanitized version explains a “gas man” as somebody humourous or good fun to be with.  Natural speaks for itself, no tricks or gimmickry here, just honest music from the heart.
