We had an amazing night at The Civic recently playing to a full house.
It was the first visit by the band to Tallaght, where our accordionist Ken grew up and we hope to return again soon.

The atmosphere was incredible with a wonderful audience enjoying the selections of music that we chose for the night.

Many thanks to The Civic for hosting us, they were amazing to work with.
This event was supported by South Dublin County Council Arts Office and Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media as part of the Local Live Performance Scheme.

Way back in March before any restrictions we had a notion to record an album so we started with 4 songs and then…well…you can figure out the rest.

Anyway, we recently got the tracks mastered and decided to put together a video over Christmas for this beautiful song from 1913.
