About Me

MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile GeneratorThe Cracklin’ Griffins play traditional Irish music, and songs from the Pogues/Waterboys back-catalogues. We are fantastic to book for parties, weddings, St. Patrick’s night, pub gigs or any general celebration!!
The band can vary in size between a duo and a septet (depending on your needs) and we can play for as long or short as you like. Plus we also work well as a backing-band for Ceilidhs.
Our repertoire includes some fifty or so songs and tunes, including favourites such as: ‘Dirty Old Town’, ‘Whiskey in the Jar’, ‘Fairytale of New York’, ‘Fisherman’s Blues’, ‘Wild Rover’ and many, many more...
Covering a broad area of South-East England (and potentially further - ask us for a quote!!), we receive rapturous applause everywhere, from: Function halls to Pubs to Colleges to Steam Fairs to...
We supply our own equipment (including PA), unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, we can also provide interval background music, to create a full evening of entertainment!
