Gigs and Tours

Welcome all, 2007 was a great year for us, with the release of "15 Times Around" which got very good reviews. Thanks to all of you that supported us and came to the gigs. 2008 is turning out to be a great year also. Two new members were added, Matt Griffin (Banjo/Mandolin) and Jeremy Spencer (Fiddle/Mandolin). More tours and recordings are planned or 2008 including a tour of Sweden, a new territory for us. Keep checking this site for updates. See you all again soon.

NEW Compilation CD “15 Times Around”:
2006 marked our 15th Anniversary Year and to celebrate we have put together a 15 Track CD
“15 Times Around”, featuring tracks from the last 15 years. There are five new studio and live tracks on this CD. This will be on sale at all live gigs. This compiliation 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.
