From inauspicious begginings playing a supposedly one-off show as a favour for their local bar, The Logues are now one of the most sought-after live acts in their native Ireland and beyond, due to their inimitable 'psycho ceilidh', 'whiskey-soaked folk' style and raucous performances.
The five piece band come from the tiny border of town of Castlederg in County Tyrone. After a few years playing jam sessions in dens of ill repute, the band decided to seek pastures new, armed with the irreverent songwriting chops of tin whistle/bassist Logan McCool. The self-recorded and released Tough at the Bottom & Comin of Age (2011, 2016) reflect this.
These LPs and the live shows soon gained the attention of promoters in Europe and the U.S; the band now appear regularly on the European circuit & perform at North Texas Irish Fest & Iowa Irish Fest this year as part of European & North American dates supporting Better Man, the single released in March, 13 2020 with an EP to follow in the summer.
