Book us for your function/event!

We play traditional Irish music and songs, plus some of the greats from the Pogues and Waterboys back-
catalogues. Book us now for: Parties, weddings, St. Patrick’s night, pub gigs or any general celebration!!

The band can vary in size between a duo and a septet - depending on your needs - and we can
play for as long or short as you like. Plus we also work well as a backing-band for Ceilidhs.

Our repertoire includes some fifty or so songs and tunes, including favourites such as:
‘Dirty Old Town’, ‘Whiskey in the Jar’, ‘Fairytale of New York’, ‘Fisherman's Blues’, ‘Wild Rover’
and many, many more... We can also do special requests, if given advance notice.

We supply our own equipment unless otherwise specified and additionally we can
also provide interval background music to create a full evening of entertainment!!!

Covering a broad area of South-East England (and potentially further - ask us for a quote), we have
been receiving rapturous applause everywhere from: Function halls to Pubs to Colleges to Steam Fairs to...

One couple have recently said: "...thanks for playing at our wedding reception. I know we thoroughly
enjoyed the evening and have received lots of comments from friends and family who thought you were great."
