Who are The Incredible Floating Widgets?
Named after the plastic thingamajig in a can of Guiness, The Incredible Floating Widgets, consisting of Mike, Tony and bassist Robert Kelly (of the folk group Middle Tickle), appeared at the Brimstone Head Folk Festival on Fogo Island in 1999. Songs performed by the Widgets included “The Rocks of Ireland’s Eye”, “The Evil Drunks” and “Baboon”. The children of Fogo were suitably impressed. Expect trouble down the road when they hit their teens.
