Shillelagh Law isn’t just a band; it’s a rebellious celebration of Irish music that refuses to be tamed. Forged in the Midlands of Ireland, Adam Kelly (Banjo - Mandolin) and Chris Leonard (Vocals - Guitar - Bouzouki) hit the scene with a fusion of raw energy and tradition. Adam, who brought his intricate banjo magic to the legendary “The Fureys,” and Chris, whose electrifying performances have rocked stages with giants like Queen and KT Tunstall, are the beating heart of this explosive act.

Enter Aidan Burke, a multi-instrumentalist whose mastery has earned him 20 All England/All Ireland titles. With musical talent running in his veins as the first cousin of Kevin Burke (Bothy Band/Patrick Street), it was inevitable that the fiddle would become one of his signature instruments. Aidan’s fierce bow strokes and relentless passion drive Shillelagh Law’s sound to new heights, blending tradition with a bold, modern edge.

Together, they’re not just playing music; they’re igniting a movement. Shillelagh Law is where soul-stirring Irish tunes collide with a high-octane spirit. Buckle up and join them for a ride through soundscapes that’ll leave you breathless and begging for more.
