The High Kings are one of the most in-demand traditional Irish bands touring today. They are Finbarr Clancy, Darren Holden, Brian Dunphy, and newest member Paul O’Brien. The High Kings formed in 2007 and have been gaining popularity worldwide ever since. The High Kings play 13 instruments between them, creating the unique sound and atmosphere that fans love to this day. After performing for President Obama in Moneygall in 2012, they received a personal invitation from the president to perform at the 2012 White House St. Patrick’s Day celebration. They flew directly from London, where they had already been the headline performer for the Lord Mayor of London’s St. Patrick’s Day concert. The High Kings continue to set the bar extremely high for Irish folk bands across the world and are widely regarded to be at the forefront of the genre. After a 17-year journey, The High Kings continue to perform in sold-out venues across the globe to their ever-growing army of loyal fans.
