The band are a multi-instrumental band playing inventive arrangements of Irish music. Being a four piece band and each playing several instruments, they focus on arrangements that explore the best blending of sounds and dynamics, as well as choosing tunes and songs that are exciting to listen to.

The band's songs range from well-known lively standards, to moving lyrical ballads, whilst their tunes are all taken from the Irish tradition. Their extensive repertoire of reels, jigs, polkas, hornpipes and airs ranges from fast and furious tunes for dancing, to haunting Celtic melodies to make you cry into your Guinness!
