With a string of well-received singles—including the viral hit West Cork and their latest release Last Call—they’ve earned praise from Hot Press as “a rising act to keep an eye on.” They’ve also shared the stage with The 4 Of Us, The Frank and Walters, Mark Geary, and Bagatelle.

For this special Bandon Folk Club performance, The Shruggs will be joined by their traditional musician friends, including All-Ireland Champion banjo player Rian McCarthy and acclaimed accordionist Michael Conroy, adding a rich trad influence to their signature sound.

Opening the night will be Daithí Collis and Eoin Ó Halpín, whose mix of trad, folk, and original songs delighted us when they opened for Ger Wolfe in April last year—one of the standout performances of the year. Their heartfelt delivery and seamless musicianship set the perfect tone for an unforgettable night of music.
