This band represents some of the finest in Newfoundland traditional song and instrumental music. The line up on the recording was
Colin Carrigan: Fiddle, Vocal
Fergus O’Byrne: Bodhran, Banjo, Concertina, Vocal
Jim Payne: Guitar, 4-Stop Accordions, Mandolin, Vocal
Gerry Strong: Whistles, Flute, Vocal
Graham Wells: 2-Row Accordion, Bodhran, Vocal.

Graham and Colin are no longer with the group. Daniel Payne (fiddle, accordion, whistles, vocals) now performs with them.

This is very possibly my favorite album with both songs and tunes on it. Fantastic stuff.

Wish the current line-up would record an album, too!
