The Duffys
The Duffys originally hail from the Emerald Isle but are now permanent fixtures in the UK. Despite being in their twenties, their breadth of experience had its beginnings in their Dad's band almost two decades ago!
"We learned our trade from the live professionals who took a real pride in their work; from being booked, planning, arrival, set-up, performance and wind-down, it is all equally important to give the hosts and their guests a day that will always cherish in their memories. We are aware that every gig is a special day for the client, so nothing is left to chance and every gig is considered unique by us."
These days, that professionalism and experience can be felt in their amazing live performances, catered to every audience specifically. Since being formed 8 years ago by John and David Duffy, the band have honed their abilities into an eclectic range of crowd pleasers.
Band Line-Up
The Band comprises of David Duffy, a naturally gifted and charismatic showman on lead vocals. A former graduate of the College of Music in Dublin, he makes Guitar, Fiddle, Mandolin and Saxophone look easy. The equally talented John, a former All-Ireland champion, plays Keyboards and Guitar. Ben Arthey, a highly skilled musician, is the Bands Bassist, and George Day on Drums has the pulse and rhythm that very few possess.
Styles
The Bands universal and unique appeal lies in their ability to straddle genres, eras and continents. They turn their hands to everything from traditional Irish numbers that will have your feet tapping, eyes smiling and heart breaking to fast and slow 60's and 70's classics, and the present day hits. Everyone's tastes are catered to and everyone gets into the spirit!
