The Buddy O'Reilly Band

Born in a pub and raised on concert and festival stage, the Buddy O’Reilly Band has been a driving force for Irish and American roots music for at least 25 years (but who's counting?). “The Buddies”, as they’re affectionately known to their fans, present great time-honored traditional music and dance as it should be - in an atmosphere somewhere between a raucous pub and your grandma's kitchen!

Wielding fiddles and wooden flute, uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes), guitar, bodhran, (Irish drum) harmonica and banjo, the Buddies “...create quite a rumble when in full swing!” (Dirty Linen Magazine). Add wonderful ballads and pub songs to the mix, and top off with some powerful Irish step-dancing, maybe throw in a clogger or two, and you have one mighty hooley on your hands!!

The Buddies have played hundreds of festivals, concerts, pubs... you name it... they love to spread the gospel of good times wherever they can.

And, as Buddy O'Reilly himself used to say: "The Buds ain't a band, they're an adventure!"
