About

Formed in 1991 by Phil O'Flaherty (vocals, guitar) and Greg Hooper (flute, whistles, harmonica, bodhran), Scatter the Mud was a Celtic Pop band based out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

After a couple of additions and subtractions, the band settled on a lineup featuring O'Flaherty, Hooper, Conan Daly (bass, vocals) and Cam Keating (bagpipes, whistles).

In 1994 the band released their debut CD, "In The Mϋd" (Mud pronounced "mood"). The recording featured their innovative hybrid of traditional Celtic music, mixed with a pop influence, and a sprinkles of jazz thrown in. BMG Canada re-released it with different cover art in 1995.

The band released their follow up recording, "Never Time To Play" independently in 1997, and secured cross Canada exposure via a distribution deal with Festival Distribution out of Vancouver. This recording featured guest appearances from Thom Moon (drums) and Prairie Oyster guitarist Keith Glass, and Dave Horrocks (congas) - who would end up joining the band during the recording as their full-time drummer.

"Never Time To Play" saw the band writing more original material as they continued down their innovative path. In addition to their Celtic Pop stylings, this CD sees the band explore the realms of reggae, country, and even surf!

The band continued to tour regionally throughout 1997 and 1998, playing primarily at folk festivals and clubs before dissolving in 2001.
