New album 'Freaks, Fools and Ghouls Live' out now!

About Me

"High octane stuff.........Would liven any party and keep the floor full..." fROOTS
"...a vitally energetic and full sound...brings the Yiddish Rude Boys out onto the dance floor..." The Living Tradition
Sheelanagig have been honing their eclectic blend of folk, jazz and world music since early 2005. Equally at home on festival stages, music venues and street corners the band have developed a devoted following with two album releases and a hectic touring schedule. Blistering live performances have made Sheelanagig festival favourites across the UK and into Europe, and caused dancefloor mayhem from the Scottish Islands to the South of Italy.
