THE WAY WE ALL CAME TOGETHER WAS MAGICAL. WE ALL MET IN THE FAMOUS ARTHURS BAR IN KEADY WHERE WE WERE USED TO PARTYING ALL NIGHT LONG (AND STILL DO). WE WERE ALL BORN GIFTED AND FROM VARIOUS DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS OF ROCK N' ROLL, FOLK AND IRISH TRADITIONAL.............................
WE CREATED OUR 1ST CD IN MAY 2004 AND THEN TOOK TO THE PUBS..............
OUR FIRST PERFORMANCE LIVE WAS IN ARTHURS BAR KEADY ON 9th SEPTEMBER 2004, AND THEN WE WENT FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH PLAYING IN THE LOCAL TOM'S BAR IN NEWTOWNHAMILTON (THE SAN FRANCISCO OF IRELAND) WHERE WE BECAME REGULARS TO THE CRAIC AND BUILT UP A FAN BASE LEADING US TO THE BIG CITY OF BELFAST, WHERE WE PLAYED IN "HATFIELD HOUSE", "WHITEFORT INN" - ANDERSONSTOWN, "ERRIGLE INN" ALONGSIDE NATTY WAILER FROM BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS AT THE ERRIGLE'S 70TH ANNIVERSARY AND WE WERE RESIDENT'S FOR WEEKS ON END IN "WHITES TAVERN"........................................
OUR MOST COMICAL GIG'S (AND THERE ARE 2) THE FIRST WAS PLAYING IN WINDSOR PARK FOOTBALL GROUND IN BELFAST AND THEN TO THE PHOENIX ON THE ANTRIM ROAD AFTERWARDS, 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS AND ATMOSPHERE'S BUT HEY WE STILL MANAGED TO HAVE THE CRAIC AND EVERYONE WHO HEARD US DID TOO. WE SUIT EVERYONE YOUNG, OLD BRASSY AND BOLD!...........................................................
THEN THERE WAS STRANDHILL IN SLIGO - WHAT A WEEKEND THAT WAS TO REMEMBER AND IT WAS OUR BIGGEST MUSICAL ACHIEVEMENT TO DATE! ON SAT 3rd DECEMBER 2005, WE MET NATTY WAILER FROM BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS IN OUR HOTEL SO WE HAD A JAMMING SESSION WITH HIM AND HE ENDED UP COMING TO OUR GIG AND PLAYING WITH US. WE HAVE STAYED IN CONTACT WITH HIM AND HAVE BEEN GIGGING AND GIGGLING WITH HIM EVER SINCE!......................................................

OUR MAJOR MUSICAL INTERESTS ARE ANYTHING THAT EXISTS YOU NAME IT - PISSED BLOKES, PRETTY PISSED GALS, BIG KNICKERS, NEW AGE MEN, SCREAMING HORMONES ETC........................................
OUR LIFE LONG MUSICAL AMBITION IS TO CONTINUE HAVING THE CRAIC AND TO MAKE MORE SONGS TO ENTERTAIN YOU!...............................................
WE HAVE RELEASED OUR 2ND "PARENTAL ADVICE" CD AND IT'S OUT NOW!. ...............................
WE COMPLETED A 10 DAY TOUR OF IRELAND (THE WHOLE COAST) FROM 15TH - 25TH AUGUST 07, 1,400 MILES COMPLETED WITH A CONVOY OF CAMPERVANS THIS WAS MIGHTY MIGHTY CRAIC AND WE HAD LOTS OF FUN MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND WE REALISED THAT IRELAND IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL.
