The Band consist of
MACKENZIE MOULTON (MAC)
On the top line is premier fiddle player Mac Moulton who plunges from Irish set dances into the jazz style of Stephan Grappelli with surprising ease.
JOHN FITZSIMONS GUITAR AND VOCAL
His playing is a startling combination of cross rhythms/ jazz chords and counter melodies that produce completely original arrangements of the songs. With a background on the London music scene he brings many diverse influences to the band.
JAMES KING ON BODHRAN, In the rhythm section there is the wild and enigmatic Bodhran playing of James King, complimented with his gravel voice and percussion.

Lead track The Rocky Road to Dublin is a must at parties (that’s if you like wild parties..). Follow that up with the Russian style of ‘Trip to Exeter’ and then the lilting ‘Spancil Hill’. Time of another drink I think. The band now headline a selection of festivals in the summer - check out the you tube videos.
