14 legged beast that aught to know better
There’s seven of us at the moment; mandolin, piano, guitars, drums, bass, whistle and some er.. singing. Our songs are mostly about having a good time but they don’t all have happy endings. Some of them are true stories, some of them are embellishments and some are downright lies.
It’s always a bit of a knees-up when we play, and we love to make new friends.
