]]> If you want a lively, upbeat Electro-Acoustic Folk/Rock group with wide appeal, Pure Blarney is the perfect group for you.

Pure Blarney perform at pubs, clubs, weddings, corporate functions, festivals and many other events and have performed in every county in Ireland!

The line up of the group is vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, pipes, whistles, fiddle, mandolin, bass & drums.

The band delivers a huge repertoire- from The Waterboys and Sawdoctors to Mumford & Sons and Van Morrison- and include instrumental jigs, reels and even a touch of country- all to ensure that everyone is kept in the party mood.

No fillers here folks, just feet on the floor, excessive amounts of fun and great memories being made. To quote one experience…”The Craic was contagious”.

Pure Blarney has, in the past, performed in New York, France, Germany and at festivals all over Ireland.

So, sit back, relax, get up, get down and let Pure Blarney take care of entertainment for your Wedding, Festival, Party, Function, Dos, Bashes, Get-Together, Concert, Reunion or simply good old fashioned Knees Up.

]]> Scotland boasts a rich piping heritage but it is the great Highland bagpipe with which most people are familiar.

Scotland’s national instrument, the iconic bagpipes, is still hugely popular. From buskers on the street to pipe bands parading through Scottish towns and cities, you are certainly likely to hear the unmistakable sound of the bagpipe in Scotland before you see them

 

Historically the Pipes are used to make an announcement and stir the emotions.

Our Piper can play at the entrance of your corporate function as your guests arrive and then during the meal can give a ten – fifteen minute recital.

If you are having a dinner to celebrate Burns Night he can play ‘A man’s a man for a’ that’ to lead in the Haggis for the Address to take place.

At a wedding the pipes can play as your guests arrive then announce the arrival of the Bride.  Then as the service comes to an end he will play a fitting tune to celebrate the newly weds. It is also a popular choice to have the piper lead the Bride and Groom to the top table.
