About Us


The juxtaposition of 'The Wilful' is that while they take their craft seriously, they do not appear to do so. Firm believers in the notion that they must first entertain, they deliver quirky performances with authority and with tongues firmly lodged in cheek!

They enjoy fevered reactions from audiences within the four corners of Ireland to frantic sets which range in diversity to cleverly weaved rock versions of ABBA and Spice Girls songs to Tenacious D and AC/DC classics.

The sense of fun which The Wilful trade with their audiences, coupled with a quality live sound and great light show has helped them build relationships with punters nationwide, and has served as a reassurance to the band that prioritising slightly eccentric entertainment mixed with serious craft, and a desire to be that little bit different, is a route that has and will yield many rewards.
