The only problem is when nobody is clear on the story things can get a little complicated,which quickly catapults them into disastrous territory. From gossiping noisy neighbours, to funerals and weddings and more in between you will find that the truth will always out.

They will sing their many chart topping hits of the time “The Old Rustic Bridge by the Mill” “Come Back Paddy Reilly”, “Galtee Mountain Boy”, “Sweet Forget Me Not” “Slievenamon” and many more too numerous to mention.
Multi award winning Louise is one of Ireland’s best female singers and will enthral and delight with her captivating vocals as she sings from her vast repertoire of hits from her days with The Morrisseys right up to the present day. Norman, considered one of the best interpreters of folk songs in the country will entertain with his humorous and witty recollections.
