The
duo originated when chosen by legendary County Kerry composer and concertina
master Terrence 'Cuz' Teahan to join his traditional Irish group. FitzGerald
and McCormack were taught the old country techniques of Irish musical
entertainment, making them one of the last generations to be directly
influenced by a master of this musical genre.
