The Saw Doctors

Hell-bent on celebrating, observing, recording and sometimes poking fun at their own locality, accent and idiomatic use of language whilst dressing their songs up in their favourite sounds and styles from their years of musical fandom, The Saw Doctors are a classic electric/folk/rock outfit from Tuam. Catch these guys live, and you'll understand why they have taken most of the world by storm.

Formed in 1985 as a busking duo 'The Incomparable Benzini Brothers', the addition of Pete O'Toole led them to change their name to Hothouse Flowers. Championed by the likes of U2, Hothouse Flowers released their debut in 1988 which reached the number 1 slot in the Irish charts within a week. Since then they have become one of Ireland's finest and most successful rock bands.

An eight-piece international Celtic rock band who have been delighting audiences for over twenty years with a mix of jigs, reels and traditional songs with a huge rock element.
