IRISH BASTARD (guitar, vocals), Lady Lily (tin whistle), Gran E. Smith (banjo), Boeuf Strongenuff (bass), Ivo K’Nivo (drums) and can look back on some unforgettable shows around the world – especially supporting legendary folk punk heroes The Pogues, the Levellers and such like. And soon they will be joining Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys on stage at Reload Festival.
