About

Playing a mix of Folk and Irish favourites suitable for receptions, pubs, folk venues etc. We can adapt to many requests and can also add Jazz and Blues standards to our repertoire if required. As veterans of the folk scene they have come together to share their love of harmony, well-crafted song and the odd rollicking chorus.

The vibe is playful, yet sincere, honouring the folk tradition with new interpretations of the classics while adding to the genre with fresh original songs. If you love soaring voice, lush harmony and skilful musicianship, a session should set you right up!

Perform regularly and are firm favourites with the Scots and Irish expat community who gather there, as well as the many locals who have made the Dubliner their regular haunt.

Private Event

ACE Music Booking Agency rating stars for a completed live music booking for Private Event by Russ on 02 Apr 2025

We had a great party, and as always, it is the music that sets the stage. I would highly recommend Ace for the connection to Chris and his band members. All that attended loved the change from the typical.
