  Amergin - The Traditional Irish Music Band
Amergin is an Irish traditional music group based in Kenmare, a small picturesque seaside town with a mountain backdrop in the southern part of County Kerry, Ireland.
The Group Amergin takes its name from the legendary Milesian prince, poet and hero who landed on the shores of Kenmare Bay during the early Bronze Age -circa 2000 B.C. The band plays polkas, slides, hornpipes and reels - all lively dance music, together with haunting airs and soulful songs.
The band's latest recording is entitled "The Gypsy Princess" which is also the name of one of the tracks on the C.D. The Gypsy Princess is believed locally to have been a tall ship that sailed out of Bantry Bay in County Cork in the 19th Century.
