Traditional
tunes, maritime sing-alongs, rock and pop covers with a distinctly
Irish flavour and so much more.
The kind of stuff that gets your feet
pounding along with your heart.
We're originally a Ceili band, playing for Irish dancers at cultural events and festivals, dance recitals and the like. We then stepped out on the stage in bars and clubs entertaining an audience that would observe and enjoy, but not really connect with the music. We wanted to involve people more, so we started inviting friends to share our stage and to add their own sounds to ours. We've been joined by singers, banjos, flutes, African drums, washtub bass, countless guitars, digeridoo and, yes, even a(n) Euphonium.
The truth is, we just love to share our music. In
the past few years we have built a reputation as a solid, entertaining
group of musicians. There's no electric guitars, drum kits, synthesizers
or DJ's. There are a lot of jigs, reels and instrument tunes in our
shows. There are a lot of songs you'll know, and we encourage you to
sing along. We cover a lot of ground, traditional Irish, contemporary
folk, acoustic pop, even a little bluegrass.
We want you to be a
part of the show. Sing along, tap your feet, have a good time!
We've played some amazing shows and we love the way it feels like the whole room is part of it. We still perform as a band, but our real joy is getting into a room, meeting people and singing and playing along with them, not just for them, so don't be surprised if, by the end of the night, there are musicians at your table.
It's OK they're (mostly) harmless.
