Toss The Feathers

St Patrick's Special Show - Toss the Feathers rose from the Manchester trad scene in the mid 1980's. In 1987 the band, already becoming popular on the Irish circuit, was joined by Ed Sheehan and their popularity moved to the next level and saw Toss the Feathers become one of the busiest touring bands in the UK often playing getting on for 300 dates each year in to the mid-90's. We are extremely excited to present their first St Patrick's hometown gig for many years.

Manchester's own Celtic rockers, 'Toss the Feathers' are known for their contemporary blending of traditional Irish music with various music styles.

At the helm Eddie Sheehan's dynamic vocals and driving guitar, power life into traditional songs and the band's original repertoire.

The rhythmic backbone of the band is provided by Dave Smylie, who's energetic dance grooves add the bottom to the band's sound.

Mike McGoldrick with his mastery of flute, whistle and pipes, along with life long musical partner, the virtuoso fiddler, Desi Donnelly, complete the lineup. Together creating genius arrangements, weaving multitude of melifluous textures that are the Toss the Feathers sound so loved by audiences.
