About Me

Mob Fandango (formerly The Brutal Amusements and even more formerly The Liam Duffy Band) are 11 musicians who met in the hallowed halls of N.U.I Maynooth's prestigious Music Department. They have spent the last year writing material, perfecting their sound, and recording an EP (which is now on their myspace page). With no less than six seperate songwriters, the Mob play a variety of genres, including soul, reggae, funk, folk, pop and rhythm n' blues. Featuring trumpet, sax, clarinet, flute and five vocalists, this band specialise in upbeat, accessible, dance-friendly songs. Both visually and musically entertaining, Mob Fandango are a joyous celebration of all the good things about live music, and are a breath of fresh air to the Irish music scene.

Rock You Baby

We in The Liam Duffy Band believe that there's nothing better than dancing to live music. Which is why you can dance to at least 78.6 % of our tunes. That's right, 78.6 %. How many bands can say that?...
