Blutack & The Greenhorns

Clancys, 15-16 Princes St.

Fri 23rd Oct, 7:30 pm

Bursting out of Cavan over 15 years ago, this genre-bending collective have built a reputation as one of Ireland’s wildest and most unmissable live acts — blending funk, blues, soul, rock and jazz with a party spirit like no other.

With a powerhouse line-up featuring guitar, fiddle, a pumping rhythm section and a brass ensemble that hits like a freight train, Blutack & The Greenhorns deliver a show that is as musically impressive as it is outrageously fun. Their gigs are famous for unpredictability: limbo contests, pancake flipping, crowd surfing, arts & crafts competitions — even the occasional spin of their “Wheel of Misfortune.” Every performance is unique, every moment designed to pull the audience deeper into the madness.

Having torn up stages at Electric Picnic, Knockanstockan, Healing Spirit and countless Cork Jazz weekends, the band remain a firm festival favourite — equally capable of tight, serious grooves and glorious, joyous chaos.
