Marquee gig for The Kilkennys

DUBBED as one of Ireland’s most hard-working bands, The Kilkennys, come to West Clare this June Bank Holiday weekend ahead of a five-night stint in Las Vegas, USA.
Formed by brothers Adam and Dave Cashin, with fellow pupil Tommy Mackey, while attending St Kieran’s College, Kilkenny, the group emerged from the traditional settings of the Irish pub scene, reinvigorating traditional Irish music and ballads for a new generation.
They come to the Kilmurry McMahon marquee on Saturday for one night only. From the humble beginnings, the young school friends bonded by their love of Irish music, have spent the last 12 years touring the length and breadth of the country.
Having shared the stage with world-renowned Irish artists like Shane McGowan and Finbar Furey and after countless performances to Irish communities all over the world, The Kilkennys have taken their music to an international stage and have become synonymous with modern Irish music.
Originally called Uisce Beatha, the band have grown into a professional outfit and their name change to The Kilkennys marked their departure from the humble surroundings of the local pub.
They have become regular favourites at Irish festivals all over the world, including Boston, Vermont, Connecticut, Las Vegas, New York, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Czech Republic and Scotland.
Following the Clare gig, they depart to perform at the North American Federation of Celtic Supporters Clubs Convention in Las Vegas for five nights.
