Donnybrook

We are a Celtic band located in Chicago and have been together for twelve years. We take great pride in our diversity. Songs and tunes are selected from several artists including Mary Black, Christy Moore, The Clancy Brothers as well as The Bothy Band, Planxty, Battlefield Band and others including some originals. We have such diversity because of our wide range of instrumentation including whistle, pipes, fiddle, banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, bodhran, and guitar.  The vocals of Liz Kearney Arwine have been compared to Dolores Keane and Francis Black while the lads supply the craic. As you will see by the copy of our most recent Gigs and Sessions page, Donnybrook is not an "up and coming" or "backyard"; but rather an established, accomplished Celtic performance band playing nearly every Irish establishment in the Chicago area. Donnybrook is also a familiar visitor to the festival circuit. In 2001, we had the pleasure of appearing at the Gaelic Park Irish Fest, the St. Andrews Highland Games, the Irish American Heritage Center's Taste of Ireland, the Arlington Heights Irish Fest, the Rockford Area Celtic Fest, the Elmhurst Irish Fest, the Peoria Erin Feis, Rockford On the Waterfront, the Fox Valley Irish Fest, the Quad City Erin Feis, and the USA Fest.
