So it seems that more than that little old lady with Kate Winslet's blue eyes survived the Titanic. This crop of spunky musicians played in the raucous, below-deck dance scene in the movie Titanic where Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio first got sweaty together, and they have used that international exposure to set sail on a globe-trotting career playing a lively mix of Irish music and acoustic rock...

Then Gaelic Storm's Bring Yer Wellies ("wellies" is slang for rubber rain boots from Europe) is certainly recommended. Despite the rough edges being mostly smoothed over, the band still delivers an uptempo, carefree, feel-good time...
