They are no strangers to Cavan, having visited the county on a number of previous  occasions as part of the Nyah Festival, where their lively shows always guaranteed them a warm welcome! The band create a unique sound that is recognised far and wide. Their lively and inventive take on the music can be heard to best effect on their latest album Dirt Tracks, which was recorded and produced by the great fiddle player Athena Tergis.
