Then, as they put it "grew tired of warmth and sunshine" and moved to Ireland, where they quickly ran out of money. They fell back on their classic training and busked their way across Europe playing original flamenco tunes and covers of rock songs, flamenco style. Eventually they landed a recording contract and a huge fan following. Good stuff(tm)!!
