Irish lads plan return to Wolfhound in Surprise
Posted
Spirited Lads bring traditional sound to West Valley stage
The Spirited Lads, a Phoenix band drawn from the legacy of Irish folk songs and ballads, play the Irish Wolfhound stage 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 1, at 16811 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 102.
“The Spirited Lads play the tunes that you can’t resist singing along with,” the band’s website states. “Before you know it you are clapping your hands and stomping your feet to the infectious music. With stirring vocal harmonies complemented with acoustic instruments, the Lads liven up the room immediately.”
The Spirited Lads balance sad songs, sweet songs, roaring songs, whiskey songs and sailing songs. They carry on the tradition of groups like The Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners, and balladeers like Christy Moore and Paul Brady.
The band is made up of Jim Hughens (vocals, guitar, tin whistle), Tim Whalen (vocals, mandolin, harmonica), Albie Duarte Doherty (guitar, vocals) and Dave McDerry (vocals, banjo, bouzouki, guitar).
