'This is How We Fly' is a contemporary Folk band consisting of Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh on fiddle & hardanger fiddle, Seán Mac Erlaine on bass clarinet, saxophones & live electronics, Nic Gareiss on percussive dance, and Petter Berndalen on drums and percussion.
They performed live on The John Murray Show on RTÉ Radio 1 this morning.
Yes it is !
Because they mean contemporary folk ( music ) band, and folk music, by definition, has to come from the tradition, therefore cannot be contemporary.

Am I the only one who thinks "Contemporary Folk Band" is an oxymoron ?

Cameraman was pretty obsessed with Nic's footwork, which is awesome, but I would have liked to have seen the others a bit more.

I think Caoimhín's 5-string hardanger is the coolest instrument in the whole world. This seriously blows me away. Wonderful wonderful!
