Origin
Country Flavour was the result of a change in music style and management of the Old Cross Ceili Band. The group originally played traditional Irish folk music but band members Micheal McNally and Philomena Belgely were big country buffs and with country music Philomena's singing had more warmth and expression. The band signed with Dublin-based promoter Nelius O'Connell and reflecting the increasing popularity of country in the Irish music scene the Old Cross Ceili Band names was changed to Country Flavour.
