Free Comments & Graphics
Once Upon a Time.....2 Gypsies met. A woman fair of voice, generous with wit and flirtatious of spirit. Who met a man of eccentric whims, sturdy disposition and melodious harmonies. Both gypsies loved Celtic, Irish music and any music of the hearty folk of old. Real music that can make you tap your feet, bring a tear to your eye or bust out laughing. Both had a love of bad jokes and limericks and a penchant for living by the seat of their pants. Their love is legendary. Their melodies are enchanting. Their jokes are a combination of innuendo, wit and sometimes even bad taste. (think Bawdy). Chameleons they are and can entertain sweetly for children, sing purely for you in Cathedrals or even change their large repetoire to play for you whilst slugging down ales in a pub. Hear them at Renaissance faires around the country, at Celtic and Irish music (or anywhere there are kilts ;), play in Pubs, Family fairs, Civil War Re-enactments, Pirate Festivals, Churches and Cathedrals, Pagan Festivals, Holiday Celebrations, Erie Canal Festivals, Weddings, and yes! Private parties! Try us! Sure to please your audience and down to earth to deal with.Remember our mottos: "Merry Mischief-Better than a Sharp Stick in the Eye" and "Merry IS as Merry Does".
