What's New
Thanks so much to all the folks who made the Tenth
Anniversary celebration such a great time for us. We had a
wonderful time!
Check out our schedule .
Uisce Beatha (ish keh ba ha)
is a Gaelic term. Transliterated, it means " Water of Life,"
but in usage it means a distilled liquor, indigenous to the
Celtic nations of Ireland and Scotland. The English
mispronunciation, "whiskey" is more familiar to most.
It is also one of the most popular names for Irish music
bands. The one with which this site is concerned is a
Richmond, Virginia group of dilettantes, playing playing a
broad mix of songs and tunes that we like to call “Irish
American Pub Music”.

Irish American Pub Music (IAPM)
You know, everywhere you ever go, there always seems to
be an Irish Pub. We're not saying they are all the same, but
they all (at least the good ones) share some fundamental
characteristics. One of these characteristics is the music
you hear. It blends classic and new Irish ballads and songs
with the local musical tradition. In America this includes folk,
country, rock, and even rap.
