The Mary Wallopers have also released a brand new EP ahead of a summer festival season that includes massive shows at Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, TRNSMT and Latitude.
After returning home from sold out tours of the UK, North America and Australia and recent appearances on Later With Jools Holland, Radio 2’s Jo Whiley Show and Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, the band decided to record an EP with regular producer David Noonan in Dublin on a rare weekend off. Home Boys Home includes the title track (a song made famous in 1964 by the Dubliners who recorded it for their first album) as well as versions of the trad song Bonnie Ship The Diamond and a glorious version of The Pogues classic The Broad Majestic Shannon.
“The punk spirit of Irish traditional music” Mojo
“Injecting a thrillingly contemporary political zeal into a songbook that was dying to be dragged into the 21st century” NME
“A raucous power to traditional Irish music not seen since the heyday of The Pogues” UNCUT
