We've a couple of fairly exciting things happening this week, both on Thursday, which also happens to be International Women's Day.
One is our performance at St. James' Church in Dingle for Other Voices being aired on RTÉ 2, and the other is the Choice Music Prize which is happening at Vicar Street, Dublin.
We're very honoured and excited to be playing at it and even more honoured and excited to have been nominated for Album of the Year for 'Between the Earth and Sky', which you can check out here:

It's always an amazing experience playing at Vicar Street and so to celebrate all of this we're releasing a video of 'Sergeant William Bailey' (featuring Daire Garvin, John Flynn and Alex Borwick on snare, piccolo and trombone respectively) which we played as the opener to our gig there on the 9th of December...

Great band but the first bit must be a localised, I learnt it 50 years ago from the Oldham Tinkers as
Down at our schoo’, teachers are s’ funny,
If tha wants to see ‘em, thas shall have ta pay some money.
Soldiers half a crown, sailors half a guinea,
Big fat men two ‘n ten, little kids a penny

What’s the name if the short song they sing before the main one??
Is it “down at our school”?
