 Traditional Irish music is alive and well and flourishing in South Jersey. We've been performing in the greater tri-state area for nearly 40 years. Sure. It's only the two of us but you'll hear us play Celtic harp, fiddle, flute, guitar, banjo, tinwhistle, bouzouki and occasionally the bodhran. And the singing! So "Come Take the Byroads" and check out our web site and find out more about McDermott's Handy.
“This was the most successful program of our year.”
"The audience was most enthusiastic and sang along very happily. The variety of instruments as well as the skill and talent diplayed by Kathy and Dennis were most remarkable. The evaluations were nearly unanimous in wanting us to invite McDermott's Handy back to perform again." —Friends of the Edison Public Library
