Not content to take a day off among some Irish dates, the Dundalk trad band will return to their lockdown tradition.
The Mary Wallopers will stream a Christmas Special live on Youtube on Christmas Day, December 25th, at 8pm, performing from a shed in their hometown, returning to their roots.
Expect “many ballads, multiple pints and even the Angel Gabriel.”
The Christmas Special takes place right in the middle of The Mary Wallopers 7 Drunken Nights sold out tour.
The Mary Wallopers announced for Dublin, Cork and Galway outdoor shows in 2025.
