The Tumbling Paddies

The Tumbling Paddies are a high-energy Irish folk/Trad-Pop band from County Fermanagh who’ve become one of the most exciting live acts on the contemporary Irish music scene.

Since forming in 2014 and evolving from local pub and wedding gigs into sold-out headline shows across Ireland and beyond, they’ve built a loyal following with their unique blend of traditional Irish music, original songwriting and modern pop sensibilities.

The six-piece outfit—featuring Gareth Maguire (lead vocals & tin whistle), Ciaran Owens (banjo), Lee Jones (guitar), Martin Treacy (accordion), Oisín McManus (keyboard), and John McCann (drums)—are known for upbeat, crowd-pleasing performances that mix catchy originals like “The Way I Am,” “Pretty Girl,” and “Night on the Town” with beloved folk classics. Their debut album The Way We Are and high-octane shows have seen them top charts and tour from Ireland to Europe and beyond, bringing Irish roots music to a new generation of fans.
