Episode 15, the final episode of this installment of Off The Charts, is dedicated to the one and only Ispíní na hÉireann. This unbelievably talented and "not-so-traditional" trad band most certainly comes with the Bord Bia quality mark and are 100% Guaranteed Irish! They are not your run-of-the-mill Irish music group, they are hilariously funny yet their musical ability is in no way compromised - an Irish Tenacious D, you might say! Maria and Bríain óg had the best time getting to know Tomás and Padraig óg ('Póg') and got the chance to ask them where it all began, where they got the idea for their unique band name, and how they went about putting together their debut album 'The Hard Working Men'. To hear all this and more, go listen to the episode now!
