FIRST HEARING:
Coming at you from Milwaukee a trio & friends recreate for their own audience the sounds of Ireland and on this hearing make a nice job of it.
There has been a rise in the success rate of Irish-American folk bands and pop/rock spin-offs so whose to say that our first hearing will not expand rapidly to others and that Athas might not lead the way back into Ireland.
Their slogan might be 'the band that made Milwaukee famous'
