Hammered Dulcimer on Radio Ulster!

I was delighted to get the opportunity recently to promote one of our instruments, 
the Hammered Dulcimer, 
on Radio Ulster's show which promotes all things Ulster Scots - 
A Kist o Wurds.

The Broadisland Gathering 2016!

We were delighted to be asked to play again, this year, at the excellent 
Broadisland Gathering festival in Ballycarry, Co. Antrim.
So we motored on down, knowing we'd have a wonderful day, 
with our Fiddle, Piano Accordion, Northumbrian Pipes, Whistles, Guitar, 
Harp, Oboe, Hammered Dulcimer, Fife, Moothies and English Concertina.
