The Irish Breakfast Band, in its third decade, offers its third recording. Traditional Irish music has kept us together over the years of Saturday morning breakfasts, practices, sessions, and performances. We have welcomed new members, including some of our own children. Making music with friends and sharing the tradition with family, neighbors and the community is our delight.
