   About Gráda
Gráda are based in Dublin and Galway, Ireland, where they began playing together in 2001. The group draws from a wide range of influences, which has seen them working with Dave Hingerty (ex Frames drummer, now working a lot with Josh Ritter); Vyviene Long (cellist with Damien Rice); and, as a producer, Trevor Hutchinson (Lúnasa, Sharon Shannon, The Waterboys). Further additions have included Dublin based trumpeter Bill Blackmore, and Danish percussionist exrtaordinaire, Rasmus Skovmund

Really enjoyed your gig in Norwich, but I was wondering what key the whistle was in - it looked like an Overton or Chieftain, perhaps an A or F?
I don't think I've ever seen a double bass used so... musically... in folky/Irish music before, either.
