Gigs and Tours

Welcome all, 2011 was a great year for us. The current CD
"15 Times Around" is selling well and still getting good reviews. Thanks to all of you that supported us and came to the gigs. In 2012 new “old friends” were added, Gerald Culhane (Accordion) and Pat Buckley (Uilleann Pipes / Whistles).  More tours and recordings are planned for 2012.  Keep checking this site for updates. See you all again soon.

10th Anniversary- FAIR DAWNING (1999 – 2009)
Hard to believe it’s 10 years. Our debut studio album was very well received and has sold very well. We have reissued it for this anniversary year and it will be available at the gigs again at a very special price.

CD “15 Times Around” (1991- 2006):
2006 marked our 15th Anniversary Year and to celebrate we have put together a 15 Track CD. This compilation also features
Steve Wickham of "The Waterboys" on two tracks. We look forward to the next 15 years of memories and many experiences it may bring. Thank you all for your support, this is important to us and without it well...you know the rest.

During 2011 we toured
USA (1), Germany (
2), Holland (1), Scotland (1) & Ireland (1).
