Stories in Song
Songs, sessions & the odd bit of good we do along the way
See What's Coming UpWho We Are
We're The Folk Ups — a group of singers and musicians from Roscommon who found each other through the Roscommon Men's Choir and discovered we had more tunes in us than rehearsal time would allow.
So we started playing together outside the choir. Folk songs, traditional Irish tunes, the odd ballad that makes grown men well up (we neither confirm nor deny this). We play for the love of it, and we play for charity — because what's the point of a good session if it doesn't do someone a bit of good?
We're not polished. We're not trying to be. What we are is authentic, enthusiastic, and deeply committed to the tradition — with just enough craic to keep things interesting.
"Proud members of the Roscommon Men's Choir family — where it all started, and where we still sing every week."
