The Hooligans specialize in traditional Irish music – and have played at leading venues and festivals across the UK, supporting headlines acts including Slade, Heather Small and Toploader. The band’s lightning-fast jigs and reels, and slower vocal ballads and airs, are guaranteed to get your foot-tapping and make you smile.
The Hooligans feature Maeve Halligan on fiddle/keyboards and vocals. Classically trained, Maeve now concentrates on traditional music – and plays a fiddle previously owned by her great-grandfather, Martin Halligan of Swinford, Co. Mayo. Maeve is joined by the regular Hooligans line-up – Greg Bealing on accordian/recorders, Liam Halligan on acoustic guitar and Lewis Naughton on cajon.
