All Ages Show
Established in Kilkenny by Conor Kavanagh, during Bad Mothers Union’s existence they have focused on forging a community of like-minded individuals, bands and artists with the belief that no crowd or venue is too small.
They are driven by the unshakeable need to share their artistic vision with the world. Eschewing the standard approach to membership, the band act as a musical collective, thriving on collaboration and what each player’s voice brings to their sonic tapestry.
The current line-up features Conor Kavanagh (vocals/guitar), Shay English (bass/vocals), Michal Lanigan (guitar/bass), Jude Csobod (saophone/vocals) and James O’Neill (drums/ percussion).
“We take a lot of pride in the community we’re in. The bands we play with, the artists we’re able to support. We have had the privilege to play with bands who are just starting out and who have been around quite a while.” –Shay
