Band to go Hell For Leather in Russia

The Siege of Ennis is set to replace the polka as a band from Co Cork prepares to encourage Russians to wet the shamrock.

Oleg Konstantin, the Russian owner of a bar in the city of Belgorod — 600 miles from Moscow — tracked down the four-piece band Hell for Leather after hearing an album.
