An added attraction this year is young dancer Saoirse Ni Michaill, and the chance to mingle with band members in the bar as they prepare for their performance.

The musical family – John (uilleann pipes, vocals, keyboards and whistles), Caz (saxophones, bodhran, whistles and bass) and Joe (guitar and banjo) – toured throughout 2012 and released an album, The Blackbird – or An Lon Dubh, if you prefer it in the original. Caz and John both live in Berkhamsted and Joe is a student at Nottingham University.
