Irish band with a violinist girl??

I know its a long shot, but does someone remember the name of an irish (i think) or european band that has a girl that plays the violin? i think their website used to mention DMB influences. If anyone knows this band, please let me know.

Thanks for any help provided.

p.s. i just can't remember the darn name

    Only one that I can think of off the top of my head is The Corrs, although I've never heard much in the way of a DMB influence in their music. If anything, it's a Celtic influence on both bands.

    Flogging Molly has a female violinist.

    Probably not the band you're thinking of, though.

    I thought Nickel Creek at first, but they're American. Could be the Corrs.

    Or look here:

    Yes, a guy is the singer, and i think they are 4 in the band, the girl is the violinist. They were barely starting, they might have only one album...

    My guess is that you’re still thinking Nickel Creek. They are a 3 piece and occasionally a 4 piece when they have an upright base. But they have been around for a while and are actually not touring much anymore. Sarah Watkins is the player. But once again, I think they are based out of San Diego actually.

    The other group I was thinking was Damien Rice, if you are confusing the Cello for the violin that is. But they are a 4 piece or 5 when Lisa Hannigan was singing with them.

    Could be the Killdares. They go to the Great American Irish Festival in Herkimer, NY.
