THE LEPRECHAUNS

Few places in south Africa haven’t fallen for The Leprechauns irresistible Irish charm – they have played their way into the hearts of young and old from all walks of life, making them household names in their adopted homeland. 

The Dublin-born and bred brothers have never looked back since releasing their first album here in 1985. Their remarkable success lies in a winning formula that they’ve perfected in countless gigs throughout South Africa and neighbouring states. They have played at Sun City, Gold Reef City, the Cape Festival, at agricultural shows, town halls, recreation clubs, private and corporate parties, pubs and beer-fests. The Leprechauns were the first Irish band to be invited to South Korea and were so popular as the resident entertainers in a Seoul pub that they were asked back the following year for another stint. 

The twosome play a variety of instruments including guitars, banjos, electric fiddle, synthesisers, mandolin and harmonica and also make use of a drum machine and sequencer and can travel to whatever corner of the country it is that requires their winning party vibe. Their repertoire includes all the Irish favourites and a wide variety of music including Rock ‘n Roll, Country, Pop and International hits, something for everyone! 

Dave Monks also does a One Man Band show and this includes his own PA and basic stage lighting which is ideal for Pub Evening entertainment.
