Powerful, emotive and critically acclaimed, this traditional Irish music band from the west of Ireland and Scotland sits firmly at the cutting edge of the traditional and world music scene. Fronted by Ireland’s maestro Alan Kelly, described by New York’s Irish Voice as “in league with the best piano accordionists in the world”, the gang has been taking audiences around the globe by storm.
