If you're looking for great Irish/Scottish/Celtic music for your event/venue, send us a message. You'll love us. Just ask newlyweds Kris and Jason, who raved:

"Thank you for making our wedding day a blast!"

We're very easy to work with. We bring our own amplification, use yours, or perform completely acoustic as needed. We keep the volume reasonable and the fuss to a minimum.
