No Crows is an awesome foursome of fine musicians based in Sligo, Ireland. Felip Carbonell is a magnificent Mallorcan guitarist and his Flamenco/Manouche-style guitar provides the engine for No Crows exciting and stylish music. Steve Wickham of 'The Waterboys' is the violinist and his energetic style and repertoire adds spice to the quartet. Anna Houston's Swiss/Celtic roots are apparent in her intricate and soulful playing of the Cello and Mandolin. Eddie Lee provides the hot grooves on his double bass. Their repertoire is truly global as their music ranges from Irish traditional to classical and gypsy swing as well as folk tunes from China, Finland, Moldova, Russia, Venezuela, Greece and beyond. No Crows recorded their debut CD September 2006 live at the Strand Bar in Strandhill, Co Sligo, adding a couple of tracks at Swiss Producer Urs Lanz's Doolittle recording studios in Co. Sligo. NoCrows recorded most of the album live in order to capture the essence and spontaneity of their live performances and the band has already won many fans on Irish airwaves within days of the CD's release.
