About

We are The Sunny Banks (formerly Shanvaghera), a traditional Irish folk band in Bristol. We play pure-drop foot-tapping Irish music. We met playing on the Bristol Irish session scene, and found a common love of the less-commonly played Irish tunes, played with lift and lilt.

The Sunny Banks – pure Irish folk music

The Sunny Banks are available for bookings, for your wedding, birthday party, garden party – whatever you are celebrating! We can play as our full 4-piece or as a duo (fiddle and banjo/bouzouki or flute) or as a trio (various combinations). We can also play for a full-blown ceilidh, with a caller to teach you and walk you through the dances.
