Description
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.
Every year in excess of 40,000 people attended the shows. It has been awarded the gold medal for excellence by CIE tours, Ireland’s biggest International tour operator, for “IRELAND'S BEST DINNER/SHOW” six times in a row.
