Of the four songs available on their website, two are instrumental and two are vocal. The lead singer, Peter Wallace, has a pleasant, raspy tenor and though the lyrics are simplistic, he delivers them with conviction. The two vocal tracks have a light, poppy feel that would be right at home on any pop or perhaps country radio station, but retain a pleasant Celtic flavour.

The group’s real strength is in their instrumentals, both of which have an airiness about them yet stop short of Clannad-style new aginess. It’s here that McPeake’s piper, Francis McPeake IV, really gets to stretch out and shine. His skill on the uilleann pipes (an instrument I once heard described as a cross between a hot water bottle, a bassoon, and a brassiere) provided my primary motivation to check out more of their music and perhaps buy a CD.

Unfortunately, it seems that’s not possible at this time. The store page on their website is empty and a search of iTunes came up empty as well. Were this group to produce a CD (or if they already had), it would be at worst pleasant background music and at best a real showcase for a talented Uilleann piper. I, for one, will admit to being curious.
