NOTICE: Far From Home officially disbanded on November 12, 2000 after their final appearance at the International Holiday Festival in the Madison Civic Center.

Turner Collins, Karen Cornelius, and Bob Newton will continue to delve deeper into the various Celtic music traditions and play under the name of Keltori with frequent guest artists.

Turner, Karen, Bob, along with Dan Cobb, Alan Ng, and other Madison Celtic musicians, are also playing with Celtic House, a new and exciting ensemble that pools the talents of many of Madison's finest Celtic musicians.

Bob continues to play with Public House Ceili Band.

Daithi Wolfe will continue playing in the Klezmer band, Yid Vicious.

Based in Madison, Wisconsin (USA), Far From Home is a quartet of musicians specializing in dance tunes, songs, and airs from across the Celtic world.

Daithi Wolfe plays fiddle, Karen Cornelius cello, Turner Collins alternates between harp, accordion, bombarde, and whistle, and Bob Newton plays bouzouki, mandocello, and bodhran. Daithi, Turner, and Bob share the vocals.

The source of their musical inspiration and repertoire can be found primarily in the long-standing but still vital dance and vocal traditions of Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Galicia. The driving dance rhythms, infectious melodies, and a broad range of songs blend to create a unique atmosphere that expresses the breadth and depth of the many Celtic traditions. It is music for dancing, listening, or socializing in a variety of venues, whether coffeehouse or pub, the dance floor, or concert and festival settings.
