Joe Hennon - Neo-Celtic Pagan (Interview)
Author: Paul Morris (interviewer) Source: Expatica Belguim (Belgium)
Title: JOE HENNON - NEO-CELTIC PAGAN
PM Neo-Celtic Pagan. Would it be fair to say that your music is Celtic in rhythm and pagan in spirit?
Hmm. Some of the rhythm is not necessarily Celtic, there's a Scandinavian feel to some of it, although we do consider ourselves Celts. It's not just a Scottish/Breton/Irish thing though. There were Celts all over Europe at one time from the Danube to the Tagus. The Belgae were a Celtic tribe and Friesland was also Celtic. The music is definitely Pagan in spirit though. We write 80% of it ourselves and it's usually related to nature or various gods or concepts like freedom. We also write dance tunes, usually in the style of European folk dances. When we do play traditional songs the lyrics have to be meaningful to us.
PM And, finally, is the face paint there to frighten off Christians?
Nah, it's something Omnia has always done (the origins of the band is in theatre) and we decided to keep. We would feel only partially dressed if we went on stage without it. (what do you mean we go partially dressed on stage anyway?! :-) ) We've no problem with Christians, Muslims or any other religious people provided they don't try to force their views on everyone else in the world. We just think there are a lot more gods than just one...
