About / Biography

AFTER OVER 25 years Working and Touring with some of the Greats of Irish Music: The Dubliners, Paddy Reilly, Liam Clancy, Ronnie Drew, Christy Moore, Jim McCann, Finbar Furey, The Dublin Legends etc... It was time to take what we had learned from these legends and apply it to our new band - Trad Union. We are a 2 piece band ( but we add an extra member when needed ). Each member plays multiple instruments and sings. We play Irish Ballads, Tunes and Songs and also a selection of popular Country and Contemporary hits.
