We are always pleased to get such positive feedback from the people we do shows for. All we can say to that is this. We are representative of Ireland. A Land of Culture, artists, intellectuals and the occasional Buck eejit! Therefore,we try to always stick to the Murphys Lagh's "Golden rules of Perfomance"

1: Take Pride in your work

 2: Word hard

3: Have fun and enjoy what you are doing

4: Encourage your audience to do the same

5: Be positive and happy because it spreads to others

6: Keep an strong sense of humour

7 Drink a little but not too much

8: When all else fails.... Drink a lot!  LOL

Damian Brennan - Guitar, vocals, Whistles and Bodhran Drum

 Born in Ireland, Damian moved to Vancouver Canada in the late 80's. Ever since then he has been entertaining all over the province and has acquired a loyal fan base. Damian's on stage personality brings a smile to every face in the audience and his hard work ethics result in great shows time after time. !

Shamma Sabir

 Fiddle, Vocals. Shamma Sabir is widely acknowledged as one of Canada’s best fiddlers. She was the first and youngest female nominee ever to be invited to the Canadian Grand Masters Championships and placed in Canada’s top eleven in Ottawa. She is a songwriter and composer with writing credits on the albums of many prestigious Canadian fiddlers including Calvin Vollrath and Gordon Stobbe. Shamma’s heartfelt bluesy vocals, combined with her fiddle, mandolin and cello offerings give the group a folk/roots flavor that places them in a musical sphere of their own. The duo performs many different types of shows but shine in the live scenario as if to feed of the audience and as soon as they have their attention they keep it until the dance floor is exhausted.
