Why this name?
We are Celtic and our music is an assault on the ears which must be turned up load or else!! hehe
Do you play live?
We have played live at various bars, events and outdoor festivals, we love playing live and aim o do so even more in the future. Every moment is special to us on stage but seeing people getting into the music has to be one of the best things
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it allows the little man to reach a bigger audience and exposes a lot more talent that would otherwise have been hidden away.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes if the deal was right and we are not changed in anyway musically.
