All Folk’d Up at the Landmark Hotel

The contemporary Irish Folk-Rock group All Folk’d Up is set to be on stage at the Landmark Hotel on December 26.

Originally formed in Dublin by banjo virtuoso and lead singer Pauric Mohan while studying for a Music degree in the capital, the band soon landed themselves a residency at Dublin’s world-famous - Temple Bar, developing a devoted and impassioned fanbase along the way.

From those early days in Dublin, the band have evolved and captured fans from all over the world.

Sell-out shows ensued in Ireland and the UK, and the band impressed festival audiences in Europe, America, Germany and Spain throughout their tenure, along with their own headline international tours and stand-out performances at the Cheltenham Races, the Farmers Bash in the SSE Arena, Belfast and an annual residency in Las Vegas.

It was when the band were touring in Las Vegas in October 2022 that they received the tragic news of the death of guitarist Barry Mohan (28), who died in a road traffic accident back home.

Barry’s musical contribution was evident from the beginning of the band, along with his bubbly personality, which helped shape All Folk’d Up into the band they are today.

He commanded respect from the other members and their audiences on and off stage. Barry was a popular musician, on the top of his game and loved what he did.

On St Patrick’s Day of this year, All Folk’d Up released a traditional tune called ‘Paddy’s Jig’, which featured acoustic guitar from the late Barry, recorded before his death.

Pauric and the band recorded this new music with Barry last year and are now looking ahead to releasing these songs as part of their new album soon.

All Folk’d Up have garnered a reputation as one of the best new wave bands on the Irish folk circuit with a unique ability to rework old Irish folk and traditional songs, sprinkling their own modern and up-tempo twist; fans have become accustomed to hearing bouncing melodies, enticing lyrical stories, vintage Folk-Rock sounds with jaw-dropping banjo progressions.
