Celtic Whispers
The Celtic Whispers are well known around Ireland and will get everyone up and dancing! They can be hired as a duo or trio and can provide their own sound equipment.
The Celtic Whispers play a wide range of songs and ballads - mostly Irish folk and traditional ranging from The Dubliners, The Wolfe Tones & the Fureys to bands like The Cranberries.
Their favourite song is 'Grace' - simply because it tells the story of Grace Gifford who lost her love Joseph Mary Plunkett to Crown Forces during events in Kilmainham Jail after the Easter Rising. It depicts the true spirit of the Irish people in our opinion.
As well as playing at bars across Ireland, The Celtic Whispers have also toured in the US, playing at the Four Green Fields in Tampa Bay, the Ri, Ra in Washington DC and McGinley’s Golden Ace Inn in Indianapolis on St Patrick’s Day, where some 5000 people passed through its doors while they were playing.
The Celtic Whispers really know how to read a crowd and instinctively know what songs to play to get everyone in the mood for dancing and singing along!
They perform for 2 hours with a short break.

The Irish brothers exceeded all expectations. They were very communicative leading up to the day. They contacted the venue on their own initiative. Payment was simple and clear.
On the night, they arrived early and set up promptly. We had sound restrictions at the venue, and they worked alongside the venue owners to ensure everyone was happy. We had 2 hours (and a bit more) of an incredible trad session. The guests at our wedding really enjoyed it and stayed to the very end! (Even the ones who were about to leave before they started). The next morning, so many people commented on how great the Celtic Whispers were. My wife and I, will be traveling to go see these two play in the future.

Thank you so much to Derek and the lads for the unbelievable performance on the day two of our wedding! They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish, really nice people and they honestly blew us and our guests away on the day! They are an extremely musically talented group! I would recommend them 100 times over to anyone looking for a band for their wedding, day two or any event really! They had such a good mix of songs prepared, they had everyone singing along and had our full attention the whole time! 10/10, thank you so much for making our day!!

Absolutely brilliant on the night everyone loved the music at the party. They had everyone up singing and dancing and were absolute gentlemen to deal with throughout. Couldn't recommend them any higher for any type of party and will definitely be booking them again. Thanks again!

If you're looking for a good singalong and knees up then these are the guys for you. Incredibly talented and energetic performance throughout, adapting songs and pace to the mood of the crowd. Even took some requests and showed their versatility. Highly recommended for something different from the bog standard wedding band.

Honestly the BEST traditional Irish band I've ever seen! If you like Irish ballads (singing rather than instruments!) then you will LOVE this act!

I couldn't recommend them highly enough... The lads are very professional, prompt, friendly and very talented. As front men they do an amazing job keeping the crowd engaged. They have the perfect blend of music to suit all ages of audience. Definitely the go to band for any big occasion. I couldn't think of a better choice for a celebratory event.

I have booked these guys a number of times over 2 different venues I have managed and every time it has been a roaring success. These guys are exceptional professionals & musicians. Always turn up on time to get their set ready and sound check. They are guaranteed to please any crowd with their music, I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
