It was at ICONS 2008 that Annalivia - heretofore a quartet of Flynn Cohen (guitar, vocals), Liz Simmons (vocals), Brendan Carey-Block (fiddle) and Stu Kenney (double bass, five-string banjo) - officially welcomed fiddler-vocalist Emerald Rae into its ranks, and in so doing marked the start of a new direction for the group.

Like most of the world today, Northern Ireland is facing an uncertain financial future. But unlike most countries, it is an unsettled society, just emerging from 40 traumatic years of tragedy after tragedy. Although Northern Ireland now has its local, self-governing assembly, the purse strings are still controlled in London where the new conservative government is taking severe steps to limit spending while keeping the government running.
