Four Men & A Dog | Bluegrass Omagh 2024

Four Men & A Dog made a name for themselves with their eclectic and vivacious blend of traditional Irish music with a wide spectrum of other genres, including bluegrass, rap, Southern rock, jazz, blues, polka, country swing, and even salsa. 

Four Men & A Dog is made up of Cathal Hayden (fiddles, banjo), Donal Murphy (accordion), Gino Lupari (bodhran, vocals), Stephen Hayden-(fiddles), Kevin Doherty (guitar & vocals). 

Four Men and a Dog made their debut performance as a band in 'Murphy's Bar', Dungiven, County Derry, in 1991 before going on to steal the show at the Belfast Folk Festival later that year, with a high-energy approach that combines furious traditional dance tunes with irreverent new music and inimitable covers. 

Barking Mad, their debut album, swooped an award for Album of the Year from Folk Roots magazine in 1991, marking the first time that an Irish group had ever won the prize. Four Men & a Dog's music is enthusiastic and infectious. The band have headlined some of the largest musicfestivals around the globe!
