PRESENTED BY JOANNE COLLINS
PRODUCED BY JOHN HOUGH

The band entered 2011 on a wave of media attention following a surprise rave review by New York Times writer, Matt Gross.A few month's earlier Mr. Gross was ambling through the Calvinists local town of Bantry when the bands poster caught his attention.Drawn in by the unusual name and the slightly controversial anti-homage to John Calvin, he decided to check them out. He certainly was not disappointed...

Quote from the New York Times :

"They were awesome : straight up rock with a country accent...the whole room hummed with enthusiasm and pride.I was part of something.Maybe this was a moment that years from now, I'd remember as a big one"...

The attention propelled the band from a local circuit into a national arena.Taidhg has a talent for writing great songs, and with the release of their debut single "Anchor", written by Taidhg,they performed on R.T.E's popular Saturday Night show, as well as featuring on the Marian Finucane show and many more radio stations around the country.
