The Barleyshakes
Brewed in Ireland and distilled in Australia the Barleyshakes are a Celtic band with worldly influences who combine intense energy, beautiful harmony and driving dance rhythms in their live performances. They are loved for their blend of traditional and original material, and their uplifting and joyous approach to live performance.
Using fiddles, flutes, bass, drums, guitar, banjo, mandolin, low whistle and vocals, the Shakes are a collaboration of Irish, Australian, and American performers.
At some select performances the Shakes will introduce the thrill of Irish dancing into their performance and also include veteran Australian multi-instrumentalist Steve Cook of Tolca Mor on banjo, mandolin and Irish bouzouki. Vocalist Alan Kelly is from Dublin and sings traditional and original songs in the Irish language aswell as English and French.
