A few quotes about w a r b l e f l y …

fROOTS magazine: “Levellers type aggression, Pogues cheek and drinking potential, yet an anchor in the tradition that makes them an effective bridge between those who like to drink, party and dance and those who like more decorum and something structured to hang their jollies on”

The Scallywag Show: “One of the best bands out there. A must have.”

Friends of Shane: “Playing a blend of traditional songs and w a r b l e f l y originals the band delivered a good kicking to folk music, playing it as it should be played - loud, fast and fun”

Shite’n’onions: “With their mix of folk and punk and their attention given to the instrumental passages, w a r b l e f l y are true originals…. and prove themselves to be a force in the Celtic circuit”

Pumpactionpaddy: “An excellent offering… if your feet don't start tapping to this then you are quite clearly dead!”

fROOTS magazine: “w a r b l e f l y are mischievous, a kick in the pants and very welcome”

Yep, everyone else has one of these so we had to have one too: www.myspace.com/warblefly. One day we'll cure Rock Hodgson of his technofobia and we'll get him to work out what to do with it and keep it up to date and stuff. In the mean time you can listen to some music there and sign up to be our friend. Update: New boy Andrew has written the first little blog and more will surely follow.
