Three tracks taken from our live performances on The Zoe Ball Breakfast show, BBC Radio 2. I was invited to put a band together and come in to play a few tunes, to help celebrate St.Patrick's. We come up with the name the night before, taken from the well known session bar in East London, and the late confirmation meant we had no time to rehearse. Luckily Joe Devine, James Carty and Eimear McGeown are among the finest traditional musicians in London, and they sounded great!
Joe put these edits together as a little keepsake for the band but I thought it might be nice to share them with you here for posterity. It was an amazing experience and we had a lovely time.

Thanks to everyone who commented, Liked and sent messages during, and after the show, and in the days that followed. We were delighted to think that we might have cheered up an otherwise gloomy St.Patrick's day. Most of our gigs had been cancelled, and we dedicate the playing to all the Traditional musicians that had their St.Patrick's plans changed and are now looking at hard times ahead.
Apologies to James for the website cropping him out of the photo. Extra sad as he's actually the best looking
