these folks treated us to music for 3 days in Chico.
Mike also plays button accordion
Zac also plays bodhran
Julian the fiddler is only 19.
These guys played, sessions, concerts and parties
and a good time was had by all.
We were glad to host them, and
hope to hear them again some day.

I do not know why when i searched for this thread
i looked under "announcement" and "Irish" and it
was not located by the search feature...oh well
i scrolled enough to bring it up.

Oisre...is on tour...will be in the Washington
state area as well as s.f. bay area...tonight..
and in Oregon on the way to WAshington..
heads up! if you see them playing near you..
I recommend you go hear them!!
