Paddy O'Brien's vision involved a céilí band with a strong flute section, so it began with three flutes. Next, three fiddles were added to balance, and then piano to enhance the rhythm. Paddy also selected a repertoire based on his study of the music, and his experience with ceili bands. There is a distinctive Clare influence to many of the tunes, with Mrs. Crotty and Micho Russell as tune sources. There is also a Sligo influence with tunes from Jim Morrison and others. Above all, the music bears the stamp of Paddy himself, and that is accentuated by the contribution of styles and energies of the individual players in the band.
