It was one fine day in the month of May of the year 2004 when Hrvoje and Ivan came to "Istra", a pub in Zagreb owned by Mr. Boris Balenović. There they found the "old" masters of Irish music Štef and Kruno, and their "students" Tina, Davor, Jelena and Dino. "Istra" was already filled with Irish tunes and the guys realized it was the right place for them.

After few months of sessions in "Istra" a great idea formed in their minds! Tina, Davor, Jelena, Ivan, Hrvoje and Dino decided: - Lets form a band!
And so it was.

"Istra" was closed and in the lack of pub for sessions our company was playing in their homes, parks, grassy hills, streets and subways... Sometimes they played with Štef and Kruno in legendary pub Godot and even with Skelligs (from Split ) on the hills of Zagorje.

That would all be fine but the group said: - We need a violin!

Searching for a fiddler they stumbled upon Damir who offered his services of playing banjo, bodhran, guitar and whistle. Noble Hrvoje gave his place on banjo to Damir and took a mandolin in his hands.

And as it goes, during the preparations for the first and never played gig at "MM" Ivan's mobile suddenly rang. Yes, yes... It was Paulina, the fiddler. She said she would like to play Irish music..

The rest is history, lineups change, but the music is still here.

Listen to the Irish music!
