We are interested in musicians who (a) are already familiar with playing Scottish or Irish dance music (preferably both); (b) already have a good stage ensemble instrument and know how to play it; and (c) are willing to make the commitment to rehearse with us - no "just sitting in" unless you check with Shirleigh or Sean first.

Above caveats also apply. What do you get in exchange? The chance to get to know and perform (without a net) with amazing, sweet, dedicated and dryly funny people in a successful, fast-paced, seat-of-your-pants show where you will discover performance, music, and dance flexibility you never knew you had!
