Those Responsible are a four piece Blues band from Dublin.

Formed out of a desire to bring together their shared passion for Blues, Soul and Rock music Those Responsible are Declan Moran, Jacob Dunlop, Shane Meagher and Faolán Collins.

In the two years the band have been playing together they have gone from strength to strength playing shows across Ireland and the UK, bringing their interpretation of Blues Standards and Rock classics together with original material to create some truly memorable performances.

Based in Dublin, Those Responsible can be found most weekends playing in venues like Sweeneys, Whelans and the Grand Social. They enjoyed a number of summer residencies this year including Temple Bar's The Czech Inn.

Entertainment has always been at the heart of Those Responsible. What drew the four friends together was the energy and excitement they saw in bands like The Who and Led Zeppelin growing up. They have incorporated this energy and drawn on a wide range of influences to create their own unique sound.

Those Responsible have kept improvisation at the heart of the music they play and no song ever sounds the same as the last time it was played. Having played eclectic and diverse sets of up to 4 hours this is a band that can surprise you every time you see them.
