They were terrific! From the first,when they apeared at the "Village Vanguard" in Greenwich village in NY, to the last, they were a joy. Saw them every chance I could get & bought their records.They alone were the reason alot of Irish/American kids, such as myself, became interested in the genre. In turn, the older folks came to appreciate that Irish Music could be more then McCormick & the McNultys.

Who's maligning them? Why? Can't people just enjoy a thing for what it is-no deep probing needed here. Just friggin' enjoy!
