Why this name?
What do you call it when a fiddler from Seattle plays Irish music with a Wah peddle?!
Do you play live?
You can find us at the Irish pubs in Seattle on Saint Paddy's Day.

We love to get the whole crowd dancing -- and the crowd loves it when our bass player dances along while he's playing.

We are heartened when our fans ask us to play at their weddings and special events, or when people tell us our music will help them through the gnarly turns (must be snowboarders!)
Band History:
We played our first show in March, 1996 at the Kincora Pub on Capitol Hill in Seattle. In 2003 we played a 6-hour marathon at three fine pubs in Seattle.
Your influences?
Electric Celtic & Appalachian Rock influenced by The Bothy Band, The Clash, and The Horseflies.
Favorite spot?
In Seattle on stage at a pub on Saint Paddy's Day!
