Gone Beggin'






The long-awaited album sees the band's development since 2001. Although some good old trad tunes are retained, there is an emphasis on our self-penned songs and tunes, with appetising little snippets of future developments.

Review of World Breakfast from FRoots magazine Jan/Feb 2005:
"The blurb says that they've shifted tack from Irish roots to a more global fusion- you do wonder what you're in for. Answer: a thumping good time brew that throws, well, everything at Celtic influence and sees what sticks. I enjoyed it heaps."
