Merry Ploughboys – Chicago Gaelic Park

Each year the Merry Ploughboys join us at CGP for an evening of fun musical entertainment!

Named after the ballad of the 1916 rebellion, The Merry Ploughboys are a traditional folk group from Dublin, Ireland, who have been “singing it like they mean it” for 30 years , with gutsy and engaging vocals backed by arrangements of fiddle, mandolin and guitar and often joined by uilleann pipes, whistle or tenor banjo.The repertoire spans humorous old Dublin music hall and street-songs, classic ballads from 19th and 20th century Irish history, timeless songs of emigration and romance, and peppered with traditional Irish dance tunes and their own original material.

Doors open at 7pm. No outside food or drink permitted. Cash bar. No membership required - All are welcome at Chicago Gaelic Park
