Murphy’s Pigs

Presented by Murphy’s Pigs and Ipswich Civic Centre

 

A BIG BAND, a big sound and nearly an acre of suit fabric.

This is the award-winning, Celtic-Rock ensemble that the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade is warning everyone about.

Throw caution to the wind and set forth on a musical journey* through the lands of the Celts as Murphy’s Pigs drag you headfirst into their world of rugged mountains, stormy oceans, fearsome battles, unrequited love and a drop or two of the whiskey.

 

Their unrehearsed style breathes new life into old favourites and firmly places their unique stamp on contemporary treasures … and some not-too-shabby stuff they’ve written themselves.

Mildly humorous onstage banter, an insane number of instruments and robust, manly voices unite to create an experience that will, unfortunately, be seared deep into your memory long after the performance is over.

Boisterous chorus songs and lilting ballads compel the tone deaf to sing fervently while spirited jigs, reels and hornpipes spur the uncoordinated out onto the dance floor.

 

After selling out their last six shows, you won’t want to miss a great night’s entertainment with these twelve charmers and their accompanied dancers (who are even more charming.)
