"Disturbingly different" - T.K. Huges 2005

About Me

A five-piece who play their own brand of energised traditional Irish and original music, from fast and furious reels to soulful ballads with a strong emphasis on improvisation and spontaneity.
Five musicians who played the London circuit over the last six years, then met at the top of their circles and came together to create the sound known today by their followers as 'goat music'.
After viewing the world through the bottom of many glasses and bottles, far and near, these five yahoo heads settled to give birth to a wider spectrum - The Hungry Grass album, which was launched last year at the Return to Camden Festival, London and Kinnitty Castel, Co. Offaly, Ireland.
With an ultimate respect to the old music and where the music is going to, we can merely steer it, enjoy it, shape it and add to it.. For it will out live us all.
it's music not just to suffice the masses, but to fill the glasses, call the shots and make people laugh.
