Formed in New York in 2003, Bangers and Mash absolutely refuses to define itself as a unique blend of fiddle and guitar or a cutting edge combination of rock and traditional Irish music. Make no mistake – they are unique, and they do blend fiddle and guitar, along with bass, drums, vocals and various other noise-making items. However, this is not the ubiquitous Celtic Rock Band performing the usual Irish Top 40. Perish the thought! Bangers and Mash is a rare treat: a band of hardworking, talented musicians who perform their own music, their own way.
