Band News!

On top of our big news of the ECMA nomination, our front man and founding band member, Con O’Brien, was also the recipient of a prestigious King Charles III’s Coronation Medal. 
Criteria to be awarded this honour: “Have made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community of Canada, or have made an outstanding  achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada’. 
35 years this year of the Irish Descendants being an entity, Con has performed over 8000 live shows across Canada and the world, sharing the music and history of Newfoundland & Labrador.

We have just been nominated for the East Coast Music Association ‘Album of the Year’ for our most recent Christmas album, ‘The Irish Descendants Christmas’. 🎄 

A huge thank you to all of our loyal fans, friends and listeners, but especially to recording engineer extraordinaire Robert Kelly, as well as Rum Ragged’s Aaron Collis for his master musicianship on the album. 🎶
