Short Description

Shenanigans Irish Music Duo, consist of Alan playing the Guitar and providing the vocals plus Steve on the fiddle. We are both accomplished musicians.

Shenanigans is an Irish music duo comprising Alan on vocals and guitar and Steve on fiddle. We have played as a duo for many years. We will give you a lively evening of your favourite traditional Irish songs, jigs and reels – you wont be disappointed! We have played at all kinds of events – weddings; wedding anniversaries; birthday parties; wakes; private house parties; Irish nights in pubs; corporate functions; concert performances; and festivals. Before playing at wakes, Steve has often played a slow march during the funeral ceremony. Alan is an excellent vocalist, singing with feeling, straight from the heart. His sensitive and lyrical rendition of, for example, Carrickfergus will give you goose pimples! Steve is one of best fiddle players in the North West of England, playing with great enthusiasm, sensitivity, and panache. Shenanigans is self-contained, we have our own fine PA system which is suitable for audiences of up to four hundred people. For your peace of mind we have full public liability insurance, and our equipment is PAT tested for electrical safety.

I hope 5 is the top ranking as i can’t praise Alan and his Shenanigans Irish Music Duo enough. The music created such a wonderful atmosphere and made it a memorable experience for all the guests, who without exception thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Alan provides a reliable and professional service which I without reservation recommend to anyone. On behalf of my family I would like to thank Alan for a fantastic evening

Shenanigans were great! They did two 40 minute sets and had music playing in between so there wasn’t any hiccup in the evening. Everyone enjoyed the upbeat tone and we even had some lanky teens attempted Irish dancing. Fabulous addition to the evening

Booked the Shenanigans for a 60th Wedding Anniversary celebration. A fantastic duo who gave a great performance and had everyone up dancing. They arrived in plenty of time, and although they were kept waiting as our meal went on longer than we anticipated, they were very understanding. Everyone young and old have commented on how wonderful they were. A fantastic evening and would certainly book them again, just need an excuse to have another party!

Shenanigans played at my fathers wake recently and their music truly was a tribute for a proud Irishman.The music they played was extremely fitting but made what could have been a solemn occasion, a time to smile. Communication from Alan was excellent from the first email and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Wow. These guys were absolutely amazing and we will be having them back very soon. I had asked them to play some Irish music at my uncles wake. We had Irish family over who would tell you how it is and they had an amazing time and we’re raving about these two lovely guys who were very professional and polite to our requests. I was so surprised in how many songs they new and they kept them coming. Thank you so much guys you were the best part of our day

The Shenanigans provided the entertainment for my dad’s 88th birthday party. I can’t recommend them highly enough… absolutely fantastic. They made the room come alive created a great atmosphere … played and sang lots of traditional Irish folk songs but also engaged the audience with stories and background to some of the songs. Definitely would book them again.
