The Malarkeys are a four-piece Celtic rock band from Kelowna, B.C.Serving up a mixture of favourites that are immediately familiar to fans of contemporary Irish and Celtic music, this tightly knit unit of experienced musicians deliver a lively and entertaining show. They've performed up and down the Okanagan valley since their first performance on St. Patrick's Day in 2007. In 2008 they performed in Vancouver as part of that city's CelticFest. Their unique arrangements create Celtic mash-ups that get audiences out of their seats and onto the dance floor. For a good time at your special event, wedding, party or pub, call The Malarkeys!
