FIRST HEARING:
This opener is very 'Irish' considering only 80% of the band is from Galicia in Spain (and it's the same with their guests).
But worry not. The Galician reputation for tight organised playing allows for plenty of drive in and around the fiddle.
All sounds quite joyful with sounds that could make them festival favourites this year or next.
Have a listen.
