    The High Kings

    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

    The Holy Ground

    The Rocky Road to Dublin

    Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore

    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.
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    They can all sing brilliantly but I thought it was a bit much, the outfits and even the accents didnt seem natural
    Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?

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

    Prefer this version of Rocky Road to Dublin.
