Andy M. Stewart is called one of Celtic music's most gifted singers and arguably 
the best songwriter in the entire folk tradition. Born in Perthsire, he first drew the attention of the music world with his work as lead singer for Silly Wizard. It was while Andy was in the Wizards that he gained much recognition for his beautiful interpretations of the traditional songs of Scotland and Ireland and also became known as a master of songwriting in the traditional style.  Gerry O'Beirne, born in Ennis, County Clare, along Ireland's music-rich west coast, is a renowned singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (6 &12 string guitar, tiple and ukulele, slide guitar among others). Gerry grew up in Ireland and in Ghana, West Africa and is an accomplished singer/songwriter and producer.

Tommy Sands, Ireland's County Down singer, songwriter and social activist achieved 
something akin to legendary status in his own lifetime. Sing Out magazine regards him as "the most powerful songwriter in Ireland, if not the rest of the world."  In December 2002 although the Northern Ireland Assembly had been stood down, Sands managed to persuade the Members to return for a special Christmas musical party together.  Loyalist leader David Ervine was heard to remark, "Tommy Sands is the only man, without a standing army, who can intimidate me."
