The Tinkers are the best exponents of traditional Irish Music in the Sydney/Wollongong area. Rebel songs, reels, jigs, ballads, hornpipes, polkas. Experienced at playing the big stages at festivals, art galleries, clubs (recently supporting Andy Irvine) and performing house concerts and intimate acoustic shows. Website here.

The shows are always fun and the tunes highly danceable, but we do beautiful airs and ballads as required. There is video of our big band (Shameless Seamus and The Tullamore Dews) with all the key members of The Tinkers: Evelyn, Seamus, Alan and Bird.
