Quigsy & the Bird

Central New York's own Irish Pub Musicians since 1981. They play the classic Irish folk songs in the styles of The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem, Planxty, De Dannan, Great Big Sea and others. They play guitars, irish bouzouki, banjo & bodhran, and throw in a few sea chanties for good measure.
