Great weekend!

Cheers to all who came down to Muddy Murphy's on Friday night... we had a blast, and you were all great, dancing like maniacs Gan Ainm style!

Thanks and congratulations also to Antoine and Stella and all their friends and family... it was an honour to be asked to play for your wedding on Saturday, and despite some teething troubles with the sound we had a folking good time, especially watching you all conga around the band!!!

We're off now for a little while, but look out for a couple of gigs in November... and hopefully some news regarding next years St Pats celebrations!

Sláinte!

Oppa Gan Ainm Style!

Once more, with reeling...

It's been a fun couple of weeks getting the band back up and running with Iggy on the bass! Sadly, however, we will be out of action again throughout October - but there is one more chance to see us before that break! This coming Friday (Sept. 28th) we will be back at Muddy Murphys for their Arthur's Day celebrations... we hope you can make it down for a few jars and a good dose of fun!

If you can't make it, look out for our advance Christmas gigs at the end of November and start of December.... see you soon!

Halfway to St. Patricks Day!

Now that Iggy has been blooded and can be considered a seasoned member of the band (and thanks to all of you who came down last night and gave him such a warm welcome) we are getting ready to celebrate the fact that there will soon be fewer days to wait for next St. Patricks Day than days since the last one...

Yep, 17th September will see us take to the stage at Muddy Murphys, and we hope you will join us there... it is a Monday, but with us starting at 8pm you don't have to worry about being out too late on a school night!

(To be incredibly pedantic, the strict halfway mark between St. Patricks Days is midnight between September 15th and 16th, as at that point it has been 182 days since March 17th and another 182 days until the next one (not including leap years), but we will take the 6 month watershed for its symbolic value...!)

Meet the newbie!

Julian is now settled in Hong Kong, and we wish him well... but how about the rest of the band? Where are we at? And what about you lot? When can you expect to see us play again...?

Well, let's waste no time in introducing the new boy... hailing from Belfast, this young man (yes, the average age of the band just dropped) is a dab hand at playing celtic tunes on the 6-string guitar as well as a solid bassist - which makes him perfect to fit into the shoes of our last Belfast-born, 6-stringer-celtic-playing bass player! And what incredibly appropriate Irish / celtic sounding name does this lad go by? Please welcome... Ignacio Calumarte!

Well, yes... he's half-Spanish, so maybe we'll get some more Mediterranean flavour to a few tunes! For the moment, though, we've all been in the rehearsal studio getting back up to speed on your old favourites - and I can say that Iggy is fitting right in! So you can expect more of the same - but slightly different - next time you see us...

...and when will that be? Well, how about you come down to Prince of Wales, 101 Dunlop Street, to see Iggy in his official band debut on Friday September 14th!

We'll see you soon!
