The Fenians have been making the rounds of Festivals and Clubs for years. The hard work really pays off in their latest CD "Have Fun Or Get Out". This album shows off their blend of traditional Irish music with Rock and World music influences. There is no such thing as a bad song on this album!! My favourites are "Dirty Old Town", "Good Ship Calabar" and "Drunken Sailor".

A guaranteed good time!!

The self-confident name character of Bold O'Donohue from the first track of this CD sets the tone. No matter the subject matter, each song is alive with fire and audacity. This is music with roots in rock and celtic tradition.

The fine voices of Rob Williams, Terry Casey and Brendan Harkins convey the spirit of the songs. Rob performs an amazing rendition of Good Ship Calabar. The Pogues would be proud of the fury conveyed in Young Ned of the Hill. The lovely "Couldn't Have Come at a Better Time" showcases Terry's vocal talents. The inflection and phrasing that Terry adds to each song gives even old favorites new life.

Closing the album is the finest rendition ever heard of Drunken Sailor. Perhaps some may think that is faint praise, no, it is resounding thunderous amazing praise for The Fenians. I have recommended this album to several friends, every friend has listened, loved it and passed the word on to others. You will have FUN.

This CD is my cure for traffic woes. It is fun to sing along and get lost in the lyrics. Kids just love it too! I have got several people addicted to this group. Buy this CD and you will be addicted too.... Fenian Fever!
