Not to be confused with the British outfit from the early 70's and also the much-later neo-prog Italian outfit, this is a trio playing mainly acoustic folk not unlike countrymen MALICORNE. All types of acoustic instruments ranging from the cello to the flutes and dulcimer and guitars are present on the first album. For the second album, they were joined by a synth player but the album stayed in the line of their debut. One will also think of great Irish folk duo TIR NA NOG.
