Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group. The band has played in a number of different styles, but their music is a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll.

In a lonesome shack by the railroad track
 I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
 Made me a slave
To my wandering queen

And the wayward wind 
 is a restless wind
A restless wind
 that yearns to wander
And I was born
 next of kin
The next of kin
 to the wayward wind

I met her down in a border town
 we swore we'd never part
Though I tried my best to settle down
 now she's all alone
With a broken heart
 
And the wayward wind 
 is a restless wind
A restless wind
 that yearns to wander
And I was born
 the next of kin
The next of kin
 to the wayward wind

And the wayward wind 
 is a restless wind
A restless wind
 that yearns to wander
And I was born
 the next of kin
The next of kin
 to the wayward wind

The next of kin
 to the wayward, wayward wind
