The Stokes - Traditional Irish Music

Over 10 years on the road, more than 700 concerts - and the specialist press has called them "the only legitimate successors to the DUBLINERS". The STOKES play Irish folk without pop frills or mainstream polish: raw, powerful, and passionate.

Joint tours with Noel McLoughlin and DUBLINERS singer Seán Cannon show that this verdict is shared by the big names of Irish folk. And being named best band of the year by Tourism Ireland - twice, in the home of Irish folk, as a multinational act - speaks for itself.
