A Child-Friendly band, the group often brings extra percussion instruments to give young audience members a chance participate. Band Leader Sean Doherty can usually be spotted by his distinctive floppy blue hat and blonde fiddle. Also adding to the rythm section is Jo Ann Kelleher. Martha Beall's piano, solo or accompaniment, can be counted on to get toes tapping and hands clapping. Sandy Hoar plays rythym guitar and fiddle.
Dancers often perform traditional steps accompanied by the band.
Local dance schools are often featured wich performers of all ages dancing in both hard and soft shoes. These dancers perform in traditional dress as well, with elaborate dresses embellished by knotwork, irish stylized animals and birds and lots of bright colors to dazzle the eye for the girls. The boys are more reserved in slacks and shirts but no less striking and no less skilled. As with the first CD, Sean's Treasure , the band expects to include an original composition by a band member in addition to traditional tunes and songs. This CD features new arrangments of IBB favorites, several songs and 'live'sounding straight big band tracks as well as two original compositions.
