The Malarkeys

The Malarkeys are a 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.

The band's debut album is called "Bloody Brilliant" and will be released on March 17, 2010(St. Paddy's Day, naturally!), thanks for asking. You can use PayPal to pre-order your copy now. Join us at the Minstrel Cafe on March 17 for the release party.

Tracks from the album will be featured on Celt in a Twist in February. And while you're here, check out our new video for "Work is the Curse". Good times!
