Mat Walklate’s Men perform the well known Irish songs that everyone knows and loves. They are indeed one of the best-known and deservedly most popular Irish bands in Manchester!
“Take talented musicians and traditional songs and tunes, then throw in a touch of the Blarney for a rousing Celtic party…”
Listen out for punchy guitar or mandola lines, with interweaving whistle, harmonica or flute, all securely underpinned by double-bass. Listen to Seamus’s powerful versions of all your favourite traditional Irish songs.
For larger events and larger audiences, a larger band might well be preferable, so Mat often augments the band in stages to include a versatile choice of fiddle, keyboards, melodeon, bodhran and drums in addition to the core line-up described above. With an excellent PA system producing a crystal-clear sound in any venue, you’re guaranteed a real Irish party night with Mat Walklate’s Men.
