Portrait of the group 'The Wild Murphys'.

About

Join us for an unforgettable night of hand-clapping, toe-tapping music with The Wild Murphys, an award-winning tribute group renowned for their lively covers of Irish songs since 2005.

Experience two electrifying sets, featuring hits from their acclaimed 'One Night in Dublin' theatre show, mixed with some timeless country classics, a couple of songs added especially for this tour and of course some great stories from two decades on the road.

Fronted by the larger-than-life Middi Murphy on guitar and accordion, along with Sophy Ball on fiddle, Tony Davis on keys and Sarah Boulter on flute and vocals, their infectious energy and top-notch musicianship guarantee a night of music and songs that you won't soon forget!

Well known as “The best Irish band to never come from Ireland” this group of raggle taggle misfits have unquestionably become one of the most popular Irish music tribute groups in the UK.

Despite none of the four members of the group being from Ireland, The Wild Murphys have played at some of the biggest and most prestigious events and venues, not just in the UK and Ireland, but all over the world!

If you like songs by the likes of The Pogues, The Dubliners, The Saw Doctors, Flogging Molly, The Dropkick Murphys, Brendan Shine and The Fureys, along with some great singalong country classics then this is a night out that you don’t want to miss! Grab your tickets now!
