Hey Holly! Unfortunately, we haven't recorded anything yet :( but hopefully soon, before Monique goes overseas. I really want to go to Portarlington but couldn't make it cause of my orchestra concert. Oh well, there's always next year :) Ahh! I can't wait to hear it! It was good fun recording it :) Hope to see you sometime soon. Rhiannon
thanks for coming to the Newstead Live music festival over the weekend. it was a real treat!!! xxx
There once was a fiddler called Chris,
He liked to eat cheese, it was bliss!
For breakfast and lunch, he nomed with the Swiss
Crying, 'Oh my how I miss a kiss from the swiss when noming the cheese that is bliss!'

loved your gig at the mussel inn, now loving your cd! it's inspired me to record my next one live-style... thank you.
Pfft, good work you guys!!! I am at this moment listening to your album :) It makes me so happy! Your gigs were amazing, I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna have to stalk your gigs whenever I can... which might be a little hard considering the geographic separation!
anyway hope it won't be too long before we see you all, love always, Brigid
