Welcome Friends!

Hi Friends,

Welcome to the official Forsythe Special site!

Who is Forsythe Special you say?

Forsythe Special is a trio that plays traditional Irish music.

John Hoyle, Bruce Erwin and Brian Hunt are the members and they expertly blend fiddle, tin whistle and bodhran with strong vocals making more music than bands twice their size!

Enjoy the video bar, and then scroll around the site for photos and other surprises.

Lots more vids here:
