The Western Fusiliers – Live & Loaded

With nearly as much love for a hefty bag of songs as they have for a hefty bag of cans, brothers Noel and Dee Maguire—two-thirds of The Western Fusiliers—have been “acting the maggot” since birth (which, by all accounts, happened at a very young age).

Completing the trio is the mighty James Carson, a banjo virtuoso who’s played alongside some of the finest in Irish music—and is fast becoming one of the greats himself. Widely regarded as one of Ireland’s top living banjo players (and, let’s be honest, the dead ones aren’t quite what they used to be), James brings serious chops to the craic.

Together, these three deliver a riot of tunes, stories, and songs from a vast collection of Irish music that’ll have you singing, laughing, and maybe even dancing by the end of the night.

This is one weekend you won’t want to miss. Bring your mates, bring your dancing shoes—and maybe a bag of cans for good measure (actually, no, don't bring cans...it's a bar)
