The Barleyshakes

Award winning Irish band

Brewed in Ireland and distilled in Australia, the Barleyshakes are a Celtic band with worldly influences, combining intense energy, beautiful harmony and driving dance rhythms in their live performances.

Adored throughout Australia and beyond for their refreshing Irish sound, the Barleyshakes are winners of the Queensland Music Award for World Music.

Ever since their inception in the 90’s in Dublin, the Barleyshakes have been turning heads. Their mission has always been to inject new life into Irish music while honouring the tradition past. Recently returned from tours of NZ, Outback Queensland and FNQ, the Shakes are keen to air lots of new material as well as old favourites.

Featuring:

Alan Kelly – vocals, guitar, Kristin Kelly – fiddle, Belinda Tucker – flute , Steve Cook – banjo, mandolin, Mocara Kelly – fiddle, vocals , Rory Kelly - saxophones, bodhran, vocals, Joe Morris - bass

“Combining great musicianship, thoughtful social comment and an impressive stage presence the Barleyshakes are more than capable of raising whatever roof has the good fortune to be sheltering them.” Woodford Folk Festival.
