Description
The Gas Men play Irish Traditional music (jigs, reels, hornpipes, polkas) and the many singers in the band perform a wide variety of songs.
From Alaska to Argentina, the band have enjoyed playing music and entertaining audiences since the early nineties.
Starting out as Vincy Keehan and friends, the band were joined in 1995 by singer Orla Morrison and her guitar playing husband Richard Morrison (Orla penned the name The Gas Men). Orla and The Gas Men released a CD in 1998 called Minding Mice at Crossroads.
Orla and Richard moved back to Ireland and other members moved on to work on other musical projects. The remaining members were joined by accordion player Barry O'Connell in 2001 and in 2002 by John Caulfield, fiddler, mandolin player and singer.
