Band Members: Fozzie Sayers, Jim Welsh, Morag O'Dea, Ray Main, Doreen Brady, Kenny Johnstone, Catriona "Geraldine" Smyth, Martin Finnigan, David Hossack and last but not least, Lachlann Finnigan.
Influences: Hmmm.......As Louis Armstrong once said "Its all folk music man, I ain't never heard a horse sing a song."
Sounds Like: Take a pinch of celtic melody, a nip of blues, a few drops of jazz. Blend them into a smooth paste with a high mountain fiddle then whisk with a set of pipe tunes. Sprinkle lightly with chopped bluegrass mandolin then serve up with banjo, guitar, accordian. Best with friends and a couple of pints on a Tuesday evening.
Here's a wee taster of what's on the menu for July and August:.
A bit of hometown country from Rachel Harrington on July 29th:

Top class piping from our good friends PIPEDOWN on Tuesday 19th August . Here's a video of them performing in Brittany earlier this year. Superb!
