aaagh! This is really beginning to hurt, another beautiful set. Now I’ve heard all the bands, I just can’t believe they didn’t win.

Clearly the best band in the competition. Stunning musicianship. Shame on the judges whoever they were.

Sorry to harp on, but I wonder were there any set dancers on the judging panel for this competition?

Hi,
I am looking for a cheilidh band to play at an event in Wexford on Sunday the 26th October 2008 and came across yourselves by chance on a Google search. Could you tell me if you are available and how much you charge?

I came accross your site whilst following up a suggested link in my Family Tree research, my fathers roots are in Ireland. I found your video and sound excellent.
Lovely tune, but the audio download is missing.
