In the summer of 2018, on the ferry from Rossaveal to Inis Oírr, Yvonne Tiernan had a chance meeting with Ruth Dillon. The former had her own band, The Grey Willows. The latter had a guitar slung over her shoulder and was crossing to the island to play a solo gig that night. It was inevitable that they would talk. Ruth ended up inviting Yvonne and her husband, comedian Tommy, to the show.
