WOW! Great playing on this excellent track. Bass player blew my socks off @ around 2.10 followed by a great drum solo. Would love to get to one of your gigs and knock down a few Kilkenney's.
Great stuff, full of life/nice playing and melody.
Oh I bet your live gigs are VERY lively affairs,...toe tapping and yips of delight...reminds me of that Irish party aboard Titanic in the film with Leonardo da Vinci...yep yep lovely...

Makes me think of Googol Bordello in some ways, but is quite an intricate and original little number. Nice to hear something different done so well.

Introducing Ireland’s newest high energy fusion folk band, Fling! They are the chief foot stompers at a hot and heavy hootenanny, a meeting of East European gypsies and trad fanatics under a bridge in La Paz, Bolivia. Fling are the smiling souls still crafting songs and greeting a new day when everyone else has gone to bed, they are the collective sound of a thousand idea’s, journeys and rhythms born to make you feel good. Based in Galway in the West of Ireland, their music has a twang of everything from South America to Russia while never forgetting their roots in Irish Trad and Bluegrass and good old rock and roll. Fling’s highly original material leaves audiences enthralled and exhilarated. Come dance with them!

The diversity in sounds maintains listener attention, blending traditional and contemporary musical instruments. The varying tempo and enthusiastic delivery puts a smile on most anyone's face.
