Jigsaw

Together as a trio for the previous 12 years, Kevin, Peggy and Ken are veteran players with significant involvement in the music regionally for several decades. Peggy and Ken, along with James Brunke and Peggy Turner, are founding members of the Southwest Celtic Music Association and the North Texas Irish Festival of which Ken served as president and Festival director, respectively, during their forming years. Peggy was the first editor of SCMA's CEILI newsletter while Kevin has served as a Festival director and served on the board and in various other capacities with the SCMA and the Festival.

James Reed is not new to Irish music and has played with other local bands in recent years before being asked to join Jigsaw. James plays guitar, banjo, mandolin, bodhran and whistle. Kevin plays flute, guitar, mandolin, banjo and whistle.

Peggy plays fiddle and remains the lead vocalist of the group. Ken plays button accordion, concertina, banjo, guitar, mandolin and whistle. As the name implies, Jigsaw interlocks their multiple talents to form one of Texas' finest ensembles playing traditional Irish dance tunes and songs.
