After a short hiatus, my brother Jim will be joining me on the guitar. We play Irish and Scottish jigs, reels, and waltzes, sing traditional Newfoundland, and play and sing Irish St. Patrick day favorites. A lot of Newfoundland music has Celtic roots so many Newfie songs can be played in the traditional Irish format. We're available to play in Rhode Island, Eastern Connecticut, South and Southeastern Massachusetts, and southern New Hampshire.
We really enjoyed having Al play at the St Paddy's Day Party we held at our private club in NH! There was excellent communication from start to finish, he was punctual, professional and talented! Not to mention it was a two hour ride each way for him. I would not hesitate to recommend Al for any event.

Al and Jim provided exceptional music which was enjoyed by all. They were patient throughout the sometimes noisy family event. They played requests at the end of the night, which brought this woman such joy. I can not recommend them highly enough.
the did amazing as always.
he was fantastic they had an amazing time !
We had a wonderful evening with Al, who played at our Wedding After Party. It was such a nice treat to have him there to play for us and accompany some of us who attempted to do a jig or two. His music was the perfect ending to our special Celtic Wedding Day. Al, Thank you so very much! Emily & Steve
