The High Kings

[rambler14]

I never heard of them until I saw them on RTE1 today @ 1pm.
But I have to say that they are one of the best Irish folk groups i've ever heard. Normally I wouldn't be glued to a folk concert but they were absolutely brilliant and they were the talk of my family for the rest of the day.

There are 4 members. One is the son of Bobby Clancy, another is the son of Finbarr Furey and another is the son of the showband legend Seán Dunphy while the other is an ex-member of the Irish Tenors.

Does anyone know if they do concerts in Ireland because I know they are predominantly American based?

Heres an extract from the show if ya didn't see it:
Marie's Wedding (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JddRkt_FYDY)

The Holy Ground (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uGiAFEGqxc)

The Rocky Road to Dublin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QdbeM2JWYE)

Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_vpueFj-R8)

ALL BRILLIANT IN THEIR OWN WAY.

Saw them the other night on TV over here, and I have to say, they were very good indeed.

They're like extras from Darby O'Gill

[Maz]

They can all sing brilliantly but I thought it was a bit much, the outfits and even the accents didnt seem natural

[Wangball]

They are pretty good, they are tailor made for the American market, 2nd & 3rd Gens eat that stuff up over there

[Lionel Ritchie]

They're a bit much. Not bad -just strictly Export Brew.

Prefer this version of Rocky Road to Dublin.
