Came across this band on youtube, still trying to figure out where they are from, their website looks like it is written in Spanish or Portuguese?? These boys can really lay down some beautiful Celtic Folk, and I love the guys Bodhran, never seen one with such a deep rim on it, sounds great, almost like a cross between a standard Irish one and a Tabla.

Here is a great little video of them warming up and getting started on a cracking tune.

their website is http://www.xerfa.bet

Anyone know where to buy their stuff??

Edit: Found out they are from Galicia in Northern Spain, though I would swear they are from Co.Kerry :)

This is the same band, this is probably the most incredible whistle playing I have ever heard, ever!! This guy could kick Davey Spillane's hind end!! No joke!
