"The Deadlians are a Dublin based band playing Irish music for YOU, absolutely free gratis. Folk songs and punk rock, psychedelic music and the odd live performance."

We discovered The Deadlians by accident playing alongside shop favourites SLEAZE at The Endeavour, Deptford, the night after they were invited to open for The Pogues at Hackney Town Hall...

Alongside contemporary peers such as Lankum, The Mary Wallopers and Lisa O'Neill, The Deadlians represent a new take on traditional Irish music and in our minds worthy successors to The Pogues!

"I can say with absolute confidence that there is no one on the island of Ireland, and quite likely on the planet, with such a unique, prolific and creative mind. From his reconstructions of 9th century poetry put to music, his fascinating musical walking tours of Dublin, his many musical projects which range from raucous rock bands to gentle folk duos, his creative output would put most to shame. He has been blessed with one of the most powerful and simultaneously beautiful and tender voices I have ever heard. It’s always a joy to see Sean walk in the door of any music session in Dublin, and watch the unsuspecting faces of those who have never witnessed him silence a room before. I am very proud to call Sean a friend and colleague, and would encourage anyone given half a chance to experience his singular talent." - Daragh Lynch @lankumdublin
