User talk:The Airy Fairy Gang

The Airy Fairy Gang are a two piece acid folk duo from Waterford Ireland.

The gang consists of Tom heffron (vocals and keyboard) and his mother Phyllis who dances and does backing vocals.

The gang formed in 2001 and recorded an e.p in 2003 called Burning desire. Their influences are vast from the Incredible String Band to Ki Ki Dee.

The gang hail from Cappoquin Waterford Ireland. Where in 1985 apparitions of the Virgin Mary started to appear to six young children in the town. It sparked off widespread hysteria around Cappoquin and was part of a wider phenomenon of moving statues around Ireland during the long wet summer of 1985.

This incident very much influences the music of the airy-fairy gang giving it a religious theme throughout.

The gang also have a documentary being made about them called burning desire, which is being shot at Christmas 2007

Tom Heffron lives with his mother (Phyllis) and father at home in Cappoquin.
