Love Them! This is my 3rd festival hiring Possibly Irish and it won't be my last. They are super flexible & accommodated scheduling issues. Their communication is top notch.

We love them, and so does the crowd. We had a terrible storm come through and they played through the wind & rain like the professionals they are. We can't wait to work with them for both festivals next year! Shelley Reed, Booker for Albany Highland Games and Celtic Gathering

"AMAZING JOB!!! They are very entertaining and easy to work with. We will definitely be booking this band again in the near future" Steve S. Gig Salad Review

We loved having Possibly Irish for our family birthday gathering. A local restaurant let us use their venue. It was beyond perfect. We wanted to recreate a trip to Ireland with pub and music- Possibly Irish made it more than perfect. Joy Dougherty, private event

HOW POSSIBLY IRISH STARTED

​

Possibly Irish formed in July of 2015. Susan Vaslev, director of theatre at Enchanted Forest, was late to warm-ups one morning. She asked Makaio what they had been doing to warm up and he said they had been singing Irish songs. Susan, who had just returned from Ireland, asked them to sing the Irish songs for her. She immediately said they should start a band to perform in the park. Within a few days, the band was formed with Makaio, Cabeau, Emma and Susan, all members of the theatre department at Enchanted Forest. While rehearsing one day, Makaio said, "If only we had a fiddle player!" Emma said her little sister played the fiddle, and the group became complete.

​

For the 2016 season at Enchanted Forest, Susan decided to create a second band to help cover the group's busy summer schedule at Enchanted Forest. Musicians auditioned for this band and the result was the talented group of musicians that came together to form Keeping It Celtic. Band members from both bands ended up substituting for each other, and not just at Enchanted Forest, but at gigs and festivals and decided it just made sense to join the bands together, which they did January 2017.
