kiss the blarney had an extremely successful year in 2009 and look to repeat the same in the current year.

We've played pubs and clubs, in marquees and out in the open air, for the usual pub audiences who flock to hear the old and new Irish songs and tunes,  for wedding receptions and beer festivals.  We've played short sets, long sets and on one or two occasions extremely long sets - in general, we like to fill the time available to us rather than sticking rigidly to the usual two 45 minute spots of most bands.

We send at least a couple of posters to the organisers of the gig about four weeks in advance and can always send more if required - and if you want to get an idea of the band at a bit higher quality than the MP3s on the music page of this site, we will send you a demo CD and a leaflet about the band.

There's a link to our poster below - please feel free to download it and print out as many copies as you want if that is more convenient than waiting for us to send them to you - it should expand to an A4 size print.  The general info about the band that we send out is also available as a PDF download here.

We try to do as much advertising that we can ourselves - not only by keeping this list up to date but we have a fair few people who phone us up to find out where we are and who pass the word around among themselves so that they are aware when we are playing anywhere in their locality.  We try to contact the "What's On" pages of any of the local papers although these guides to local entertainment seem to be harder to find - please email us with any contacts that you might think are useful so we can add them to our lists.

If you would like a band poster to stick up somewhere, please right click on the link below (which downloads as an A4 poster) and save it.

You can then print it out at your leisure.
