BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Hailed as one of the world's premier Celtic bands, Dervish was formed in 1989 by five lads from County Sligo, Ireland. The drum, guitar, fiddle, accordion, and flute players spent two years perfecting their sound and recording an album of instrumental music under the name The Boys of Sligo. Then in 1991 they welcomed singer Cathy Jordan and changed their name to Dervish. The new group released their debut album Harmony Hill in 1993, a critically acclaimed landmark collection of traditional Irish music. Dervish has recorded an impressive 11 studio albums, including 2013's critically praised The Thrush In The Storm, which was recorded in just five days. Dervish has played for fans all over the world, and shared the stage with music icons including James Brown, Sting, and Beck. They also had the prestigious honor of representing Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011.
