The Dustmen

More fun than a barrell of Guinness!

About Me

Take some pub sing-alongs, songs of Irish and Scottish history, a few sea shanties, American folk tunes, then throw in some jigs and reels, and mix with a little bit of Celtic rock and what do you have? The Dustmen, one of Western New York’ s favorite Irish bands. Jokingly taking their name from an Irish term for street sweepers, The Dustmen’s high energy up-tempo version of traditional music brings fun to pubs, festivals, and parties year round. A staple at local Irish pubs and festivals, The Dustmen have been described by the Buffalo News as “more fun then a barrel of Guinness!”
