Crystal Swing, the latest Irish YouTube sensation, say they want to play this year's Electric Picnic festival in their bid to conquer the Irish music scene.

The family trio also said they are currently looking for a manager, and have been approached by some "very reputable and well-known names".

Mother Mary Murray Burke and her two children, Derek and Dervla, have notched up over 130,000 views on YouTube with a version of 'He Drinks Tequila'.

The three are due to appear on the Late Late Show before the end of March.

"We are inundated with all sorts of offers at the moment, things we have been dreaming of doing for years now", Murray Burke said. "One of the goals we have is to play somewhere like the Electric Picnic this year, it would be a great platform after the Late Late."

Responding to some of the more negative criticism, including comments on the site like "somebody shoot me, my ears have been violated. I want those four minutes of my life back", Murray Burke said the family believes detractors are merely jealous and they are taking it as a sign of their success.

"Obviously there are a lot of jealous people out there, but we are paying no heed to the comments. We look at the broader figure and see the huge amounts of hits on the video. You have to learn to laugh as well," she said.

The band took off in popularity after Newstalk presenter Seán Moncrieff and former RTE journalist Mark Little tweeted about them two weeks ago. Shortly afterwards, Late Late Show producers got in touch with the band, forcing them to pull out of a scheduled appearance with Moncrieff.

"The Late Late wanted it to be exclusive. So now the band can't go on any shows or TV programmes, which really begs the question, is there one set of rules for the Late Late and different rules for other shows?" Moncrieff said.

US chat show legend Ellen DeGeneres also posted tweets promoting the band last week.

The Burkes said they are hoping to tour the world after they have toured around Ireland. "My long-term ambition is that in the future Dervla and Derek will pursue a career in music either together or separately," Murray Burke said. "I want them to basically tour the world, after they have been all around Ireland.

"But right now we are open to all offers, and we are completely inundated with them. We are receiving offers from England and even from shows in America," she said.

Mary Murray Burke performed in a one-woman band eight years ago, and gradually began to get her two children involved. Her husband Michael works on sound for the band.

"There have been a lot of comments on the videos that I do not actually play the keyboard – I do. I was in a one-woman band. There have also been questions as to where my husband is – he is behind the cameras looking after sound issues," she said.
