New York and Irish music have a long and storied history together, a collision of two cultures that results in bedlam, beauty, and alot in between. SHILELAGH LAW embodies all that is New York Irish Music: old songs, new songs, jigs, reels, dancing, weeping, lots of laughter, plenty of drinks, and the inevitable visit to the local diner at 5 a.m. By interpreting traditional Irish Music through the filter of the urban experience, SHILELAGH LAW helps to define the Irish-American experience that is such a big part of New York town.
Under the Flag (written by S. Gardner)
".....On record, SHILELAGH LAW sounds like a band that simply can't wait to get out of the confines of a studio and start making some music where it counts, in the middle of a big merry crowd, which if you're lucky will include you. That is to say, you should probably get out and see these guys (like, now), pick up a CD and get it autographed, because one of these days they're going to figure out that they're not just a bar band, and after that there isn't a pub in the boroughs big enough to hold them for long."
