The original, powerful style was born of the experience of six musicians - in their midst, a vice champion of Ireland on the bodhran and an award winning (All Ireland Fleadh) tin whistle player - coming together to create a new sound,whilst preserving an authentic energy. Doolin' breathes Ireland - the Ireland of a thousand lakes, of age old legends and the electric atmosphere of smoky pubs - whilst adding its own "French touch", with an exeptional virtuosity. Doolin' is regarded as one of the best Irish groups in Europe.

The up-and-coming Irish music group A sextet
(guitar, bodhran, violin, whistles, accordion, bass)
from the Toulouse/Castres region. Almost the same
formation (and the same spirit) as Lunasa, with the
pipes replaced by the accordion. This group,
formed around the brothers Josselin and Jacob
Fournel, whose disc by their previous group Trio
Gan Ainm won plenty of praise here, combines
finesse and energy in the Irish manner but adding
their 'French touch', adjusted by the well-known
Northern-Ireland flutist Desi Wilkinson: original
compositions, jazzy improvisation, and a special
mention for the writing of Polkamix (...) A group to
look out for, one that may signal the renaissance of
Irish music in France... - Jean-Pascal Assailly
