Big
The Rum Brothers have a pretty big repertoire of songs and tunes to call on for any gig. That's a typical set list in the picture.
Check out the updated list of all the stuff we do >>>
Ceiledhs
As well as all the songs, the boys have a whole bunch of dance tunes under their belts too. So if you are looking for a Ceiledh band with a difference the Rum Brothers are for you. They play some stonking jigs, powerful polkas and rockin' reels. And if you want to get in close with your sweetheart for some lovin' they can do a wistful waltz or two as well.
They Like...
Bands and artists they draw material from include: David Bowie, The Pogues, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, TheWaterboys, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Clash, Nancy Griffiths, the Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Snoop Doggy Dog, The Levellers and many, many more.
