Brian Dunphy, you're the one we're talking to today and I want to know,
you guys use so [Bb] many different instruments.
You're known to use like 13?
Yeah, we've got about 13 [G] instruments among us.
Darren's on the piano accordion and also piano and we have Fimra on [Ebm] guitar [Gb] and vocals
and [Ab] myself on the baron, the hand drum, an Irish [G] traditional instrument
and then you have Martin [F] on everything.
He's got bazooki [Am]
whistles, [Gb] _ [Bb] banjo today.
That's awesome.
How did you guys learn to play all these?
[Abm] Oh well, I suppose when Martin and Fimra, it's been [Bb] in their families for absolutely generations.
It's been [B] incredible and Darren's grandfather is [N] a piper.
He's a very famous piper from Ireland.
So yeah, it's been in the families.
It's in the veins.
[G] It's in the blood.
[Eb] Deep in the veins.
Deep in the veins, [F] absolutely.
So yeah, it's been [Bb] fantastic.
Very cool.
And your album went to number [Bm] 5 on the Irish Billboard charts [N] last year
and also double platinum pretty quickly.
Yeah, in Ireland.
Absolutely amazing and we're going to break [F] the UK pretty soon,
probably by the end of this year and [G] Memory Lane went straight into number [B] 1 on the iTunes _ [Gb]
charts,
which was just incredible.

kind of given us one big hug.
