DENVER, COLO. (2/26/08) -- An annual tradition, Colorado's own Celtic trio, Gobs O'Phun, will take the stage at Swallow Hill's Daniels Hall to deliver fun and music in celebration of St. Patrick's Day 2008 on Friday, March 14 at 8 p.m.

Gobs O'Phun started out as a traditional pub that has evolved into a family entertainment favorite. They derive their "Gob" name from a slang term used in Ireland and Scotland that means mouth. Tim and Denis Sullivan, along with brother-in-law Martin Lambuth, are the Gobs. Framed with humor, their songs bring tears to your eyes...be it laughter, joy, sorrow, pride or an occasional sour note.

Their newest CD, Out of Our Minds, features guests Chris Daniels, Rich Moore and Ted Cole. Their other recordings include Liverdance, a collection of drinking songs, These Gobs are Revolting, which features historical rebel tunes, Major Phun's Loyal Hearts Pub Band, a compilation of 26 most-requested pub favorites, a collection of songs that are half-Scottish and half-Irish titled Highland Derry Airs, which also features Seamus Kennedy's politically incorrect "Old MacDonald's Deformed Farm," and last but not least, Barstools and Bad Habits. Gobs O'Phun perform songs that tell stories that appeal to all cultural backgrounds and is family-friendly.
