Sublime and exhilarating arrangements of the old Irish traditional songs, with influences of rock, pop, jazz, electronica. O’Kane’s band takes traditional Irish music and song, and in the words of The Telegraph, they turn it into ‘Folk-Pop that is Irish music for the 21st Century.’ Damien, a musician of many talents, stays true to his Northern Irish roots where he was born and bred, but delivers some real classics too. This is a band not to be missed!

“An inventive set that could well become a crossover commercial success” - The Guardian
