Irish big band led by the county clare accordionist sharon shannon, whose 1991 debut was the best selling traditional irish album ever released in ireland. The band blends traditional irish music with styles from reggae to jazz and is known for its guest singers. In 2024 it toured a tribute to shane macgowan, who had toured with the band before.
