Where else would you want to spend a winters evening than down the local with a measure of real ale, some conversational friends, a good fire and an earful of traditional folk music. The music we play grew up in country inns, this is where it's most at home.

What we can offer your customers is a mix of the finest lively Irish, Scottish and English folk music taken from yesterday to back when Henry VIII started gigging.
Songs from The Dubliners, The Pogues, The Corries, The Waterboys and so on forever are tossed together with the best jigs, reels and polkas for folk to relax to. We also throw in some great American oldtime music. Chat and drink the night away accompanied by the finest of musical merriment.

Our aim in playing at your inn is to bring a mellow atmosphere to the evening. We do not come merely to deafen people, we want them to chat away with friends, have a drink and lend an ear to anything that takes their fancy.This is the way traditional music was played in the pubs in Ireland, it adds to the conversation it does not try to stop it.

We have been playing around the Midlands and beyond for nearly fifteen years now. We play for weddings, parties, corporate events and for country inns. We have the best of equipment and instruments, all the necessary insurances and certificates. Our clients include the RAF and MOD, Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre, Centre Parcs, hotels, clubs etc.
Our prices which are very competitive vary depending on distance, date etc.
Currently for a Friday night gig our three piece starts at £150.00.

We would love to come and play at your inn.
