Okay, so the show was tonight. And although no one seems interested, I'm posting my thoughts anyway 
In the program they were hyped as the best music group to come out of Ireland in decades. While that's probably not true, they are fantastic. There were, as mentioned, seven instrumentalists/vocalists, and there were two dancers who popped out for a handful of pieces.
The music was all fantastic. Each of the instrumentalists can play at least three instruments near equally well. Four of them performed on 3+ instruments tonight, with the other 3 playing two. I was very impressed by that.
Again, very impressed with the girl (Lisa's) voice as well.
The musical selection was good. Some trad. jigs and reels. Some Irish-ish songs adopted from songs of other countries, and even a bluegrass song for the Kentucky crowd.
If you get a chance, check them out, especially if you can see them live. (Tickets for my seat were about $20, and I was four rows from the stage, so it's definitely worth every penny and much much more).
