Jackdaw
Back around St. Pat's of 2000 Tim and George (friends since birth) and Tommy formed a band which put a hard rock edge on traditional Irish faire. Taking inspiration from a passage in Angela's Ashes, they called themselves Jackdaw. Several months later, they were tapped to open for Black 47. Seeking to beef up their sound, they met up with a pierced kid who played pipes for the Erie County Sheriff (Mr. Moore) and a fiddle virtuoso, already a legend amongst traditional Irish circles (Mr. Davies).After that, they probably got a beer or something.
