About

Whack fol the daddy-oh! Manchester Irish Band, The Lucky 15’s, sure know how to get things started. Combining tales of love and woe, bravery and despair, along with songs from all of the five major drinks groups: lager, cider, bitter, ale and stout.

Fresh from their appearances at the Cheltenham Festival, The Lucky 15’s will play all of the Irish hits, along with a few modern classics too. Expect Irish Jigs, Celtic Reels and toe-tapping tunes that will have you giddy with glee. You keep backing the winners, they’ll keep singing the songs.

The Lucky 15’s have been privileged enough over the years to support such esteemed Irish acts as The Dubliners, The Fureys, and Hothouse Flowers.

Guitarist Josh sings all the right notes (sometimes in the right order) while Bob on the fiddle is second-to-none, and first to the bar. Drummer Lorna keeps it all together whilst Ste provides the walking bass. Backing vocals are supplied by the wonderful Taylor and The Mason. All members of the band are experienced musicians, having played in various other guises throughout the years.

The Lucky 15’s can provide the perfect soundtrack to your event or special day. Please check our Bookings section for details on setlist, and our Video section for promotional videos.
