Forsythe Special- Traditional Irish Music
Welcome friends!
We are Forsythe Special , a band out of Ohio and Pennsylvania and we play traditional Irish and Scottish music. John Hoyle plays the whistle, bodhran,bones and sings, Bruce Erwin plays fiddle, and Brian Hunt plays guitar and sings as well.
We put this blog together to keep in touch with our listeners (and each other) and to let folks know what is coming up in the near future.
So stop in and see what we have in store and let us know what's on your mind. I'll be posting regularly with updates on upcoming gigs and sharing photos from previous jobs.
We look forward to hearing from you!
