Artist description From Leixlip, County Kildare, this six piece, original band was formed in 1994. Described by an American fan as Irish-music-come-punk-but-still-definitely-Irish-music, Blood or Whiskey's continued existence, let alone success, has confounded critics and delighted fans everywhere. With a voice that has been compared to gravel under a door, Barney Murray heads this six piece band consisting of bouzouki, guitar, tin-whistle, bass, drums and banjo. Blood or Whiskey's music is high energy, vibrant and not for the faint hearted!
