From the website...
"Twisted Whistle comprise of The Farrell Family (Dad Steve, Neil and Shari) from County Clare, Ireland, and are rapidly achieving a dedicated following of fans through their youthful exuberance ...except for Dad, of course... The sad old git.
Formed in 2001 as an alternative to beating each other up over who gets to work the TV remote control, and also as a convenient means of getting out from under Mam's feet, they have enthralled, enraptured and bored audiences to tears with a sound that is not entirely unlike Traditional Irish music.
Combining music from such diverse influences as Traditional Irish and ...ehhhh...Traditional Irish, they have achieved what many critics claimed could never be done.... A traditional Irish Music band that won't have you beating your head off the table in boredom from hour after hour of 'diddley-diddley dum-dum'.
This they achieve by simply not playing and instead helping Dad get the pints in".
