We play traditional Irish and Scots music with origins ranging from ancient to sometime last week, and have amazed and enthralled literally dozens of people at a time.



The saucy chiels – I think they ca them
Critics – the muckle sorrow claw them,
(For mense nor manners ne'er could awe them
          Frae their presumption,)
They need not try thy jokes to fathom,
          They want rumgumption.
