Enjoyed their music live at Tizley’s Europub (in Poulsbo, WA) last June and bought a copy of their “Kids in a Candy Store” CD.
It became a favorite of other pilots during the July 2007 Region 8 Soaring (I fly sailplanes for fun) Contest.

My daughter began asking for “that great Irish music” during an August visit. (She married a Flaherty.)
I was very happy find it available through CD Baby, so I could get a couple of more copies before I hear them live at Tizley's again!

This CD is not to be missed!
