THE WOLFE TONES


Yes you heard right!!

The Wolfe Tones are returning! After declaring that their Jan 10 tour of  Australia would be their last, the guys loved their tour and our fine country so much they insisted on coming back for St Patrick Day celebrations in 2011!

The Wolfe Tones have sold more records and had more number ones in their native Ireland than U2.

Their hit, A Nation Once Again, is voted  the number one song in the world courtesy of a BBC World Service poll.

For over 40 years The Wolfe Tones have enjoyed unprecedented success. The band's  performances are legendary. They've been awarded the key to the city in Los Angeles, New York, Kansas and Philadelphia and have had a flag flown over   the Capitol Building in Washington DC in their honour.

Mundy

Irishman Mundy was born Edmund Enright in the rural town of Birr. His journey into music has been  one of solid graft.  

Aged 18, Mundy moved to Dublin and started to busk on the notorious Grafton Street and at open-mic nights at nearby bars. Two years later Epic Records, a subsidiary of Sony, saw his potential and signed him to the label whereby he released To You I Bestow, his debut  single on New Years Day 1996. Such was the success of his introduction it was licensed to appear on Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet.  

Enright has released five albums: Jellylegs, 24 Star Hotel, Raining Down Arrows, Live and Confusion and his latest, the inspiring and buoyant Strawberry Blood.

In recent times, Mundy enjoyed huge success with his hit “Galway Girl”. He has also featured in the film, “P.S. I Love   You”. Mundy will be launching his brand new album at Shenanigans and touring the country with his full band.

Celtic Fire

Local support for Shenanigans Irish Music Festival comes from Celtic Fire.

Celtic Fire is the breathtaking new musical show which combines the ethereal voice of Angela Little (singer and composer from Baz Luhrmann’s film “Australia”, also known as Ophelia of the Spirits) with the energy and excitement of Irish dancing, primal tribal rhythms, sweeping  cinematic sounds, and stunning visual projections.

Taking inspiration from the mythology of the ancient tribe of the Tuatha de Dannan, AFI award -nominated composer Angela has drawn on a wealth of tribal roots from many ancient cultures including Japanese Taiko drumming and middle Eastern rhythms and sounds to create a never-before-seen cross-cultural multimedia experience.
