There's a young brother/sister duo from my town who just did a small tour through your area there. They're real up and comers and sound great. I don't think that they're on the LiveIreland music rotation yet. How can I submit their info for consideration?

Great bookl I just finished.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying touring! I couldn't access your webpage but it may well be my computer. Hope to find your album.
Our group play Scottish folk with accordion and small pipes, whistle guitar and of course fiddle.
Good Luck!
