Unknowingly, Mr. Bill Lynch captured us on video at Quinn & Tuites in GR opening for The Elders and put it on the internet. You can check it out by going to his Celtic Sunday Series link below and click on the complete schedule of performances, or by going to www.youtube.com and searching for Tinker's Tea. Thanks Bill!

Greetings!- We find ourselves plodding along toward victory. The finishing of our CD. It has been a slow process but we are still motivated and happy with what's happening. Here is Pete at the helm wondering (as always) what the hell are these guys doing! Well Pete, as soon as we know we'll tell you! In the meantime, catch us at the Farmer's and Artist's Market on Fulton (near Fuller) on the weekends. We will be busking and selling our demo there on either the high or low end of the venue whenever we can. Peace.
