Yep they saved the best for last with the new groups.
I like folk music like this so I think its a great addition. I wonder if they will work with them on the attire they wear while performing. The street clothes makes me think that four random people just started breaking into some folk music.

I think I saw these at my local Irish pub some time ago!
They begged a pint out of me. Or maybe that was the other way round. Probably the latter.

I'd definitely stop and watch this. It reminds me of a bit more of the traditional acts in the Gaelic tradition that I've seen. Not bad at all!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!! Marie

Finished watching the video and I am really impressed, this is awesome!!!! A great variety and addition to the existing line up, now all we have to do is get Off Kilter back, get rid of the Lumberjacks and we will be super set for great music on that side of the lagoon!!! Marie

Hi there Don, They are not in the same category either, I love my Off Kilter, but this is in the lines of the more traditional Gaelic and Celtic bands I have seen at Irish Fests and such. You cant really compare the two. I think we ditch the Jacks, get OK Back and we will be set for great music on this side of the lagoon!!! Oh and FYI, according to the grapevine, British Revolution is staying as well, this band is a replacement for the World Showcase Players. Marie

They're talented musicians, and I enjoy their music.
One comment: as a few others have noticed as well, I think their outfits are too average looking for a performance group in World Showcase. I'd like to see the WDW clothing designers create a style for them, that would enhance their stage presence.

I was incredibly disappointed with the Mo'Rockin' replacement as well so not quite 3 out of 4. The flag troupe looks all right but not something I'd go out of my way for. Maybe a one and a half?? I do agree about the costumes for the new act though. Although this is what you'd see at any Irish Pub. Maybe that is what they are going for? Marie
Yep I think the look is intentional - modern street music.

This is definitely a fantastic addition to World Showcase! It's truly beautiful music, which fits perfectly within the pavilion. It also reminds me a bit of the "How to Train Your Dragon" score... That may be also be a reason why I think they are great! ;-)

I generally like the musical acts more for ambiance (background music when exploring the pavilion) than to see and consciously watching them. So, for me, stuff like this Celtic band and the new Moroccan act are ideal.
