We feature old and new celtic music, original vocal and instrumental arrangements, plus a hearty dose of sixties through eighties "Golden Oldies" for your listening/dancing pleasure.
.We are both Ottawa Valley "born and bred" and are based in Canada's Capital. With over twenty-five years of performance experience, and five generations of family history in our valley, each brings a unique set of talents to a collaboration that blends the old with the new.
We first played together in the seventies with the well known Ottawa folk group "The Celts". We then went our separate ways, both performing with different groups as well as solo. We joined forces in 1992 to deliver a well balanced vocal/instrumental combination.

The traditional tunes from our roots combine with new compositions to renew our heritage. Maritime flavours slip naturally into this mix with the not too subtle influence of our eastern cousins, "We all come from the same place, eh!"
Our extensive repertoire includes such well known celtic favourites as Black Velvet Band, Farewell to Nova Scotia, Four Strong Winds, I'se the Bye, Loch Lomond, Mary Mac, Sky Boat Song, Streets of London, The Unicorn, Wild Colonial Boy, our own distinctive material, plus "Golden Oldies" such as American Pie, Blue Suede Shoes, Brown Eyed Girl, City of New Orleans, Crocodile Rock, Fernando, House of the Rising Sun, Margaritaville, Rock Around the Clock, Sweet Caroline, Vergil Cain. Instrumentals range from the great traditional music of "The Chieftains" to Ottawa Valley tunes such as Maple Sugar and Saint Anne's Reel.
