Their musical style is Contemporary Irish/Celtic folk music with a strong flavour of swing jazz.
On stage they use fiddle, guitar, flute, mandolin, tin-whistle and bodhran to perform traditional and original instrumentals and songs, strongly laced with social commentary, humour and audience participation.
The duo have released 9 Albums and have toured extensively throughout Europe and the USA; working in more than 18 Countries.They have also shared the stage with Pete Seeger, Luka Bloom, The Incredible String Band, Tommy Makam and Tommy Sands; and once performed on the same TV show as Johnny Cash.
