Biography

This vibrant little music group explores many of the dark and hidden chasms of folk and traditionally inspired folk and world music. From haunting Irish/Scottish ballads to the odd sentimental Australian bush tune. The Whisky Drifters are sure to enchant you with their authentic and soulful renditions of well and lesser known melodies.

Drawing on a vast array of instruments including the fiddle, octave mandola, mandolin, guitar and accordion, as well as a range of percussive instruments, the Whisky Gypsys are sure to add an element of fun and frivolity, laced with a touch of the exotic, to any occasion or venue. We try to keep the music folky but dancey, listenable and fun…

This is quite an adaptable outfit which plays in solo form yet can expand to a 5 piece – depending on the venue or occasion – if required.

As well as traditional tunes, the Whisky Gypsys include covers by respected artists such as Paul Kelly, U2, Van Morrison, The Pogues, Luka Bloom, Mumford and Sons, The Proclaimers, The Dubliners, the Chieftans, Johnny Cash, the Waterboys, Ben Harper and more.
