The Irish Sunday presents: Fullset

Hello everyone! Today, we explore the songs of a band named FullSet who, of cours, play Irish music.

To describe the band quickly, it's seem they becoming popular around 2009 or 2011, i can't tell since when they started. As expected, they are Irish and play traditional music. If not, i'm really bamboozled...   
right now, the band have 3 albums in store. Notes At Liberty, Note After Dark and Notes Between the Lines. 

The band is composed of 6 members playing traditional instrument. We have: 
Marianne Knight who play Flute and sign beautifully on some song. If I'm correct, prior to her, was another women called Teresa Horgan, or she's a guess. ...I don't know. 
The talented Michael Harrison on the Fiddle, he lead easily the dance, and when he's not, know exactly how to improve the song.  
Jamine Redmond who play Button Accordion, had a really nice touch to the band. She act like the cement that old every song.
Martino Vacca play a  Uilleann Pipes. For those, like me, who dosent't know what it is, well... it's an Irish bagpipe. Smaller than the Scottish one and sound way less obnoxious. his play  really highlight the melody  
Andy Meaney on the Guitar, make for great melody, especially on the song ''The bright Side of the moon'' 
and finally, Eamonn Moloney who play brilliantly one of my favorite instrument, de Bodhran. he play it with such an ease, that we could forgot how hard it is to find all those notes without missing one. It's a bit hard for me to not be bias about this instrument, i love it.

Overall, I will say, the band play more than well. Their harmonies are soft and we have the impression that the whole thing flows like a river. I'm looking forward for their albums, because I just discover them really recently and the shipping time can be long over here...

I'm not gonna say more and let you enjoy it
