The HiBs main companion on guitar and vocals, they are honored to have Dáithí Sproule play with them at concerts, weddings and other events. When Dáithí is not touring with Altan, Trian, Fingal, or as a soloist, they are more than happy to have him play with them!

1. ★Paul Wehling
   

Paul is another partner in crime, adding the unique and wonderfully rhythmic sound of the bouzouki to the HiBs. You can hear him on a few tracks of our CD, “40 acre notch”.

The HiBs are lucky to perform on occasion with the great Martin McHugh, accordion player extraordinary. The HiBs thank Martin for keeping Irish music alive in St Paul, MN, and making it a place for the music to flourish. He's a treasure! Also, Martin can be heard on two tracks of the HiBs CD, “40 acre notch”.
