The Curious Bards intègre une part importante de la culture irlandaise et écossaise : les chansons collectées dans les recueils du 18e siècle. Elles racontent l'histoire de ces deux pays, à travers leurs récits amoureux, désespérés ou patriotiques. Les Curious Bards créent un son marqué par l’authenticité, la chaleur et l’énergie contagieuse des musiques gaéliques.
