Formed in Tokyo, the band brings together long standing musicians who fell in love with the reels, jigs and airs of Ireland. Inspired by The Pogues and The Dubliners. The bands front man Masakazu also known as Tiger refers to the famous céilí scene in the movie ‘Titanic’ as his first introduction to traditional Irish music.
