About Me

MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnBpbXAtbXktcHJvZmlsZS5jb20v" target="_blank"We are a Northampton Irish band that have been going for a few years now. We used to be known as the Nelson Mandella Ceili-Band, once we started touring Ireland we changed it to the GeiPatricks. We had musicians come and go over the years but now it’s only me, Kevin Mannion, and Jim Carroll. Jim comes from good stock, he came from a local band called Banish the Vermin, where he was guitarist and singer. Myself, I play banjo, mandolin, bass, anything with strings. We play all around the midlands, down as far as London. Our influences are the dubliners, Clancy Brothers, most early Irish folk. Keep a look out for us, we might be playing near you! Apart from music, drinking takes up the rest of our time.BOOKINGS AND INFO: [email protected]
