This band has refused to stand in one place and simply play the usual fare. Mixing the hauntingly beautiful, soulful and rousing music of Irish tradition with the music that was created out of the Irish Diaspora with original songs by Martin O'Malley, they continue to grow, listen, go beyond what they know, to share their intimate connection with the music they have written and the music that has written them.
