ENERGY, PASSION, RESPECT, AND FUN-

Four words that sum up the musical mission statement behind Mórga. Four friends, four virtuoso musicians, on a mission to bring together the wild energy of the Irish-American dance bands of the roaring '20s, the sound of the Irish traditional music revival of of the 1970s, and the excitement of the best pub session imaginable.

Growing out of the rich Galway music scene, a shared passion for old and lively traditional music drew the band members together. Mórga (Irish for majestic) was formed in 2008, and the band released their self-titled debut album in 2009 to critical acclaim. 

Since then Mórga have toured extensively, appearing at highly respected festivals throughout Ireland and Europe, most recently a five week tour of Germany, in addition to appearing several times on Irish television and radio.

Mórga's second album was recorded in Dublin in August 2013. The recording, For the Sake of Auld Decency, is a raucous celebration of the band members' musical roots and influences. The album was was released in January 2014 and is now available on CD and digital download.

Dominic Keogh: Bodhrán, Flute
Danny Diamond: Fiddle
David Munnelly: Accordion, 
Jonas Fromseier: Banjo, Greek Bouzouki
