NON-IRISH MUSIC: We understand that not every venue or event is going to want the Celtic vibe all the time. We have plenty of folk and rock songs we can include between some Irish tunes or provide as a whole non-Irish set. CHRISTMAS/HOLIDAY TUNES: Celebrate the most wonderful time of the year with us, as we provide a blend of Irish and American Christmas songs to enhance your holiday party. SEA SHANTIES: With Ireland being an island, our catalog includes numerous songs related to water, perfect for events by the bay, naval academy graduations, or even Talk Like a Pirate Day, evoking the allure of the sea. TRAIN TUNES: Our repertoire includes a diverse selection of train-themed songs, paying homage to the Irish immigrants who helped build and operate the railways upon which many American towns were founded. DRINKING SONGS: From the first sip to last call, our collection of songs narrates the full journey of enjoying a good drink. LOVE SONGS: We offer a variety of tunes celebrating love, even if many of them have bittersweet endings. After all, it's better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. SCOTTISH TUNES: We've learned a number of songs from our Celtic cousins, offering a full set for a Robert Burns Supper/Night or any event where Scottish tunes add a special touch.
