Hey buddy. I'd like to say I was playing my music for the masses, but, actually, I'm MOSTLY playing other peoples music for the masses. Great to hear from you. Hope you enjoyed your visit to the Sunshine State! Next time we'll have a visit eh? Let me know how the cd's is coming along. Oh, I almost forgot: I STILL WEAR MY TWIRLIN' MARTHA T-SHIRT PROUDLY! Your friend, Vann
hey that show was Awesome, you boys really know how to put on a show. You are so much better than the usual Irish wanna be crap that is out there. Great jigs and reels, awesome song selection. Let me know when you are playing again.
Hectic is good! Hooray for you and the gang! Best of luck, perhaps we'll talk soon. I'll be near Richmond this coming week. All the best to those of you that twirl...
Thanks for such a great show at Kildare's for the Manyunk Arts Fest, and for making us such a welcomed part of your family. It is no wonder why you always pack the place.
What a fun show today! We had a blast. Thanks for the great Irish music. Not only are you fine musicians, but you're fine showman as well. I put the pics up on our page. Feel free to use them.
