With 60 years under their widening belts, veterans of the international music scene continue to create new music and excite yet another generation of fans.
Recently, the legendary band hit Spotify’s VIRAL TOP 50 in both the US and UK/ Ireland. They also recorded a new album, No End In Sight which included their original 1977 version of The Wellerman and a 2023 Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for their song Hey Boys.
In October 2024 the band have returned home to Belfast to record their upcoming album, THE BELFAST SESSIONS. Producer Donal O’Connor of Redbox Studios is at the helm working with band leader George Millar. Millar says “It’s been a lifelong ambition to record an album back home. I just can’t believe it’s taken 60 years to get it done.”
Another lifelong ambition has been to put their name on their own whiskey. They released “The Unicorn” Whiskey, a triple distilled single potstill whiskey matured in a Spanish Oloroso cask this year on St. Patrick’s Day.
