Howdy y'all, tis been a long time! Sorry about that, but passwords to edit this page were lost/forgotten, hence nowt happening!
So how was our 2008? Fab! Loadsa fun, played many festivals, as a 5 piece and also the full 6 piece. Some folks within the group have changed their instruments, we had a special guest appear wth us in Poland, we have played gigs with broken hands (misdiagnosis of which bones were broken too, but he still managed to play!), twisted ankles (damned cobblestones in beautiful Italian village up the mountains), played weddings (big up to Tadhg and family - savage time!), and rang in the new year in 5 star style at the Trinity Rooms, Limerick - massive thanks to Joe et al for that - we were even allowed to bring friends! We played outdoors in Cashel on the October Bank Holiday weekend, in the freezing rain - great laugh tho, except for the whiteners thrown later that night, damn Morgan Spice Rum...Poland again was fantastic, over there for 5 days this time, managed to find the time to sample more of the city (Lodz is a beautiful city - despite the rain!). For the Polish gigs, we had Steve Haberlin playing with us, world reknowned wit and feckless gadabout, but man, is he a spectacular drummer/percussionist. Hopefully we'll get more time to Jam with him in the future...
We had our ups and downs in 2008, but overall, the ups far outweighed the downs...
So what's in store for 09? Well, the gig offers are coming in thick and fast at the moment, unable to mention exactly what/where/when yet, as negotiations are ongoing, but if all comes to pass, we'll be all over the country again this summer. As they say, watch this space!
Promises for more updates, photos, links to peoples vids of us playing to come in the next few days...
Peace out...
