Almost Irish Concert
Autentisk Irsk Folkemusik og Gode Historier

Authentic Irish Folk Music and Great Stories
Experience Almost Irish – the band that, with a twinkle in their eye, call themselves “Folk Brothers,” yet deliver Irish folk music with an authenticity and passion that instantly transport audiences to a cosy pub on the Emerald Isle. Almost Irish are a well-known and much-loved presence on the Danish folk scene and have toured extensively across the country for many years, repeatedly proving that the Irish soul can thrive beautifully in Denmark. They have enjoyed great success performing everywhere from intimate community halls to larger venues such as Horsens Ny Teater.
The band’s repertoire is a heartfelt tribute to traditional Irish folk music. Through captivating songs, rousing melodies, and a strong element of storytelling, they take audiences on a musical journey. This is music that smells of peat smoke and saltwater and explores life’s great themes: love, loss, freedom, and—above all—the joy of community. You can expect to hear everything from melancholic ballads telling moving stories like “Skibbereen” and the beautiful “The Auld Triangle”, to lively, danceable jigs and reels. Their performances include both well-known classics and their own beautiful interpretations, often in the company of outstanding musicians such as Chris McMullan.
What truly sets Almost Irish apart is their ability to create an atmosphere that is both intimate and celebratory. Their concerts are more than just musical performances; they are an invitation into a shared community. Whether they are singing about life at sea in “Go to Sea Once More” or the hardships of agricultural life, the stories are delivered with an energy and humour that keep laughter and tears close at hand. Their “Folk Brothers” dynamic shines on stage, creating a warm, informal atmosphere where everyone feels at home.
Don’t miss the chance to experience this unique folk event. Almost Irish guarantee an evening filled with Irish spirit, outstanding music, and unforgettable stories.
