The importance of good folk songs and music for children is the reason for the formation of The Twitters. Being able to sing is one of the most natural musical instruments we have at our disposal - our vocal chords. A child born today is no different than a child born 50 years ago, the only differences are the musical influences being presented to them today.

Folk singing has always been part of our Irish tradition, and The Twitters are introducing a new CD of children's songs that were part of their growing up using natural musical backing and excellent vocal harmonies. The variety of songs in both English and Irish will show the diversity of songs for children on this quality CD.

Danny Carthy singer, songwriter was the instigator of forming The Twitters as he has always enjoyed singing songs for children in schools with his guitar accompaniment, and it has been the children's love of the songs that inspired him to form The Twitters and record the ultimate CD of children's folk songs. Joining Danny is the very talented singer and musician Paul Malone who for many years has been a stand up comedian threading the boards nationwide and abroad, his musical abilities on banjo and mandolin are very evident on this recording. John The Deego Kid is known as the mad monk of The Twitters because it has been said he has never worn shoes in his life, always open toed. He is a very accomplished acoustic bass Guitar player with a great love for vocal harmonies.

Their live performance is a treat for any child, as all the songs they sing have wonderful choruses, and The Twitters will be asking the children and parents to sing along with them as part of the performance. For children it's a show not to be missed, as The Twitters use radio mikes and pickups for their instruments and will move through the audience as they perform.

The new website www.thetwitters.org is an important part of their CD promotion, while browsing the website, enjoy listening to some of the recordings and you can also buy CD's online.
