About A Mad, Mad World

It’s a wild and crazy adventure bringing music into the world so one might as well talk about it. This band of intrepid performers has accumulated a respectable enough amount of time pushing notes around to be able to say something on the subject. And besides it is a pleasure to share the lives and times of the musically inclined. 

We’ll try and keep it on topic but there’s no promise.

Answers to the FAQ if we had one:

• The Mad Maggies formed in 2004 to record one CD. We started gigging and one thing led to another CD in 2007 and the gigging continues and the third CD is about to burst onto the scene.

• Director, Paul Haggis found our tune, “Sleepy Maggie” on the internet somewhere and the rest is television history.

• Mags accordion weighs about 16 lbs.

• GDub really is of Icelandic ancestry.

• Adrian really does speak Chinese.

• Actually we are quite the polyglots and between us can speak French, Spanish, Hebrew, Welsh, German, a smattering of Czech and Gaelic and the aforementioned Chinese.
