The Mary Wallopers Irish breakout stars Will Be In Australia September 2025

‘The Mary Wallopers have become a word-of-mouth live phenomenon. At the heart of this is their ability to move seamlessly between crackling cabaret-style banter, raucous tales of pintmen, laughter and getting laid, chaotic, Pogues-style punk velocity – limbs and spilled pints everywhere – and pin-drop silence for heartrending songs about the vicious crimes of the Catholic church, or renowned Irish Traveller singer Pecker Dunne’ – The Guardian 

‘In just a few years, the group have amassed an international following with their rambunctiously spirited interpretations of the Irish songs of yesteryear, injecting a thrillingly contemporary political zeal into a songbook that was dying to be dragged into the 21st century’ – NME
