They now appear more often in larger venues, performing regularly in The National Theatre, The Royal Festival Hall and Hammersmith Irish Centre.

Essentially a traditional Irish band, this group play an exciting mixture of original material and their own interpretations of traditional Irish tunes. Their set also includes songs from both sides of the Atlantic.

The current Line-up consists of Dave on guitar /bouzouki/ cittern/ mandolin/ banjo/ dobro/ vocals: Teresa on Fiddle/ mandolin/ vocals: Andrea on concertina: Alice on flute plus caller. A smaller band is also available without the flute.
