Susan CatesVocals, Flute, Whistle, Bass Guitar (& Feet of Flames) Susan has been singing and playing flute for two decades, eventually adding tin whistles and the Celtic harp. She has maintained a strong attachment to Old World Celtic lore and music since childhood, while still being influenced by the newer generation of Celtic music. As Sgian Dubh became more electric, Susan felt that the band was the perfect opportunity to let out her inner Celtic punk-rocker! She is currently pursuing a Masters Degree at UGA. |

Bruce RobertsWhistles, Drums & Percussion, Harmonica, Technopipes, Vocals Bruce played trumpet in his early years, but took up the drum kit in college, better matching his love of rock. Along with Ray, he was a charter member of The Ultrasonics. Over the years he added additional percussion instruments (bodhran, ashiko, djembe, doumbek), and began playing whistles when he was bitten by the Celtic bug. Bruce also dabbles with electric bagpipes, the Irish flute and his set of Scottish Smallpipes. |

He enjoys exploring his Celtic roots and adds new twists to the rich Celtic brew known as Sgian Dubh! |
