Boondock are a Brighton based folk band specialising in traditional Irish, English, Celtic and Eastern European folk music.

About Us

We play Irish, English, Cornish, Scottish, Russian, Klezmer and other traditional folk music. We have a wide repertoire of songs in all of these styles. Click here for a small sample set list. Whether you want a short relaxed acoustic set at a reception, a loud and lively ‘plugged in’ set at an all night party, or anything in between, Boondock will deliver. We are highly flexible and willing to cater to any of your requirements.

Set Up

We play a range of instruments. Our acoustic sets usually consist of the accordion, fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, bones and balalaika. Our ‘plugged in sets‘ also involve a small drum kit to really get those feet stomping and legs dancing! We can also provide a caller for Ceilidhs.
