Experienced Celtic traditional acoustic music duo, with decades of performance experience. Hailing from Greater Boston, Killeeshil is a great fit for cocktail hours, during dinner, and outdoor ceremonies. Our specialty is traditional Irish and Scottish forms like jigs and reels, hornpipes, and slow aires.
We were excited to hire Killeeshil for our June church picnic in Newburyport. The band arrived early, engaged our congregation with great music, and were the hit of the event. We hope they’ll be back soon!
We had a packed crowd at our community center to hear Killeeshil perform. They we’re easy to work with and our event was a success. We will book them again!
Response from Killeeshil:
Thanks for the great review, Christy, and congratulations on such an awesome night! It was such a well-run event and everybody had a ton of fun. So happy we were able to contribute.
Outstanding, Can’t praise them enough! Would definitely hire them again. All of the guests enjoyed their tunes. “It felt like being in Ireland”
Best birthday party ever😊
Musicians were on time and very respectful.

Was lucky enough to hear them perform Celtic music live at my cousin’s wedding. It was such a beautiful addition to an incredible event. Would absolutely recommend !
Response from Killeeshil:
Hi Steph,
Thank you for your kind words. It was so wonderful to be able to contribute to your cousin's beautiful wedding. It was such a special day for everything there, and we're so thankful for the part we were able to play!
Did and excellent job playing at my wedding. I would recommend this band to other people. Especially if you like Irish music.
Response from Killeeshil:
Thanks for the kind word, Nick! It was a truly beautiful event and we were so happy to add to the day.
Michael and John performed Celtic music at our wedding and we could not be more grateful for them!
Though we were engaged for three years, we ended up planning our wedding in just three weeks. Even under such crazy circumstances, Michael and John were extremely flexible and accommodating in making our wedding date work with their schedule. It meant so much for us to have Celtic music at our wedding, as I am from a large Irish family, and hearing their songs was a beautiful tribute to my late grandfather, whom we wished could have been there with us. The Celtic music opened the event and was performed with enormous spirit and joy. Guests were in awe of their talent, performance, and the beautiful energy that was created from Killeeshil Irish Music. I am sure that my cousins will all be asking for John and Michael to perform at their weddings as well, and I can't recommend them enough to everyone, no matter the event! Thank you so much John and Michael!
Michael and John provided great Irish music for our small wedding. They were extremely easy to work with, talented and professional. Highly recommend!
Response from Killeeshil:
Thanks Austin! It was a pleasure to play for your special day!
