  • Black Velvet
    author: Larry Kaminsky

    This band gave a performance at Kibbutz Adamit in northern Israel in the early '80s. I was there and have been a fan ever since.

  • Lovely

    I must say, their music is very developed Cetlic music in comparison to others I have been hearing.

  • This is for people who really love folk music and not pop/folk
    author: Kevin Hauler

    I really love this kind of folk music. It is really from the people and not from the realm of selling alot of records and being famous. The music holds a special kind of beauty because of that reason.

  • What I have been looking for,
    author: Zachary

    This is pure celtic music at it's finest. I have been searching for something like this, now I have found it.

  • Exciting music
    author: Val

    I think they are a very fine group of musicians. They have a very clean sound, very professional. They are not a Big name, but I don't see why, they are so tasteful.

  • High Quality Celtic Band.
