In 2014, the trio won "Best Debut" in the Spiral Earth awards[4] and have since performed major festivals including Celtic Connections, WOMAD Charlton Park, Sidmouth, Festival Interceltique de Lorient (where they won the prestigious Trophée Loic Raison),[5] Lowender Peran Festival, Cornwall, and the National Celtic Festival in Melbourne.
Barrule's name paid tribute to the Manx summit and Celtic God Manannán mac Lir who made his home there.[6]
