Roundstone Buskers


	The story in brief... The Roundstone Buskers were originally formed in 2001. Named after the hometown of the great bodhran maker Malachy Kearns, the "Buskers" consisted of Shannan Sullivan (fiddle), Tom Jones (bodhran/percusion/whistles) & Tom Grafton (guitar/ hammer dulcimer). The original trio played through 2003, released a successful self titled CD and eventually disbanded yet remained good friends. Later that year Shannan and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Bruce Burton started a duo simply named SullivanBurton. They played through 2007 and released the CD Monkey Bars which won praise from Dirty Linnen magazine. Tom Jones was asked if he would like to join the band in 2007 and in doing so sparked the idea of restarting the Roundstone Buskers. "The Buskers" have not looked back since regaining their name becoming somewhat of an acoustic power trio claiming traditional and contemporary celtic music alike as their arena. They have been called "cheeky", "punxy" and "on point" and they are fine with that. They all sing, they all play, but most importantly.....they all listen.
