The very classy US based group continue to give their Irish based contemporaries a good run for their money and, on this CD, the opening blast of a full blown reel keeps them way up among the best.
They have constantly but constructively changed personnel over the years but this current grouping might just have the edge over previous ones.
It kinda takes traditional music up to a different level.
You really must have a listen.
