They don’t know they’ve been discovered by me, but, by golly, they have been.

Dea Matrona (“Divine Mother”) is a Belfast band whose core members, Mollie McGinn and Orláith Forsythe, are onetime schoolmates. They started out as buskers, playing on street corners, and now are a big deal.

Busking: (The drummer left to finish her education). Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well:”

Wait. Weren’t they starting another song at the end there?

Yup. Sure was. How can shoppers just walk past them? Well, that one fellow gets it

Now, they’re concert-ing.

Two more covers:

“Gloria,” from fellow Northern Irishman Van Morrison:

“Crossroads,” another from my day, by Cream:

And one of their own songs:

Another original, very Irish (the thorn trees and the horse are prominent in Irish mythology), but this is a song about hurting a loved one.

Yes, they are attractive and sexy and all that. But, far more important, they rock.
