The Mary Wallopers announce intimate show at DeBarra’s Folk Club

The Mary Wallopers have announced an intimate gig at DeBarra’s Folk Club in Clonakilty, County Cork, set to take place on Thursday,  July 17.

Originally formed by brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy alongside friend Sean McKenna (who recently departed the band to pursue his own projects), The Mary Wallopers began as a traditional folk trio touring Ireland and collecting songs. The group has since expanded into a six-piece band and gained widespread acclaim for their energetic live performances.

The DeBarra’s show is a rare small-venue date for the band, who are scheduled to perform at three major Irish festivals this summer. The band is also set to play a headline show at Fairview Park in Dublin this Friday, June 14.

Speaking on the upcoming gig, Ray Blackwell, manager of DeBarra’s, said: "We are thrilled that The Mary Wallopers will be returning to DeBarra’s on July 17th for a special intimate show, amidst the roar of their incredible national and international success – it really feels like a full circle moment. Beir Bua, Mary Wallopers!’’

Tickets for the show will go on sale at 10am on Friday, June 20. You can find more information here.
