"These
musicians, although French, are putting a new slant on Irish music.
Their music is at once steeped in the Irish tradition, while still
being contempory and Doolin' offer us music that is powerful, full of
character. Their songs propel us into the Irish spirit ; instrumentals
are full of sensitivity and emotion and make us forget the harsh
reality of this world." - TRAD

"The
up-and-coming Irish music group! A sextet (guitar, bodhran,
violin, whistles, accordion, bass) from the Toulouse/Castres region.
Almost the same formation (and the same spirit) as Lunasa, with the
pipes replaced by the accordion. This group, formed around the brothers
Josselin and Jacob Fournel, whose disc by their previous group Trio Gan
Ainm won plenty of praise here, combines finesse and energy in the
Irish manner but adding their "French touch", adjusted by the
well-known Northern-Ireland flutist Desi Wilkinson : original
compositions, jazzy improvisation, and a special mention for the
writing of Polkamix! (...) A group to look out for, one that may signal
the renaissance of Irish music in France..." - Jean-Pascal Assailly

" (...) The session was joined by a couple of brothers : Jacob and Joe,
who play with one of the bands featured at the festival - Doolin' -
they were brilliant musicians and really lifted the session. (...) The
band Doolin' was on after us, and I was really impressed." - From
