The Irish Pub Ramblers

traditional irish reels, jigs, polkas and slides, waltzes and hornpipes...

The Irish Pub Ramblers play traditional Irish music as its played in the pubs and sessions in Ireland. Focusing on the dance music of reels, jigs, slip jigs, hornpipes, slides, polkas, and waltzes, with the occasional acapella pub song thrown in there for good measure. Featuring the traditional instruments of fiddle, flute, concertina, whistle, with back up on guitar, bodhran (the goat skin drum) and bones, the music will bring a bounce to your step and a smile to your face. This is the music which has been played in Ireland for hundreds of years and we carry on the tradition today. Celebrate Irish traditional music at your pub or restaurant.

We like to ramble !
