Ispíní na hÉireann

During a trip to Slovakia in 2017, Dublin born musicians banjo player
Adam J. Holohan and guitar player Tomás Mulligan discovered how much
they enjoyed playing music with each other and decided to form a band.
Not long after, while sitting at the bar of the famous Cobblestone Pub in
Dublin's Smithfield Square, and drinking the strongest ale the Four
Provinces Brewery had to offer, inspiration struck and they decided upon a
name; Ispíní na hÉireann, and thus the Sausages of Ireland was born.
‬As years went on the band grew to include cellist (and vocalist)
Aongus MacAmhlaigh and saxophone and Uilleann Pipes player Pádraig
Óg Mac Aodhagáin to round out the greasy ranks, as well as guest
players from all over the island.
Ispíní na hÉiereann’s music is a combination of original songs as well as
reimagined covers and tunes, all influenced by the Irish musical tradition.
There are layers of subtext and commentary, and a genuine method to all
the madness. And as with any great art it is left open to the interpretation
of the listener. It is up to the audience to decide whether or not this is all
waffle, or if deeper meaning can be found amidst the chaotic noise.
They are working on their second album, a follow-up to their hit Hard
Working Men, with more exciting new material that will inspire and make
you laugh at the same time.
