If you somehow still don’t know that these guys are worth buying your ticket for now…. 🤷‍♀️ could you just please take our word for it and get yourself that seat at The Lens for March 4th.
They’ve been called ‘the legendary triumverate‘.
They’ve been founding, former, and current members of bands such as Solas, The Battlefield Band, Flook, Lunasa, & Capercaillie.
They’ve worked with musical pioneers including Joan Baez, Linda Thompson, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mark Knopfler, Bob Dylan, Paul Weller, Eddi Reader, Heidi Talbot, Kris Drever, & John Cale.
You like The Transatlantic Sessions? Then you’ve seen these guys already!
