 The Band:   Lori Stofft, Lorna Bright, Jon Knudtson, Colby Girard

                                                                               The instruments: Guitar, accordion, bass, fiddle/mandolin

The Tunes: Mostly vocals, still leaning heavily on the Clancy Brothers/Tommy

Makem catalog but morphing daily into that category best but clashingly

described as contemporary traditional Irish.

                                                                                                                      Performance descriptions: "Great fun" "Spirited" "Raucously entertaining"

                                                                              "Pretty good when sober" "Not as good as the Waterboys but nicer to look at"

                                                                              "You guys are LOUD" "When does the band start?"

PG13: No blue language is employed, only green, in singing about

love, life, work, drinking, fighting, wenching, dangling Scotsmen

and--sparingly--wallabies.
