icap's An Irish Shindig
On Thursday 26th of September, icap’s An Irish Shindig took place at the iconic Electric Ballroom in Camden, London. The venue was packed to the rafters with Irish music fans who had travelled from across the South East to experience a celebration of Irish music and culture like no other.
Our MC for the evening, the ever-charismatic Joe O’Neill, kept the energy high, warming up the crowd before each act took to the stage. The night began with the talented Niall McNamee, whose performance of Irish rebel songs and his hilarious original track Magpie with a Mullet had the crowd singing along. His opening act set the perfect tone for what was to come.
Next up, the legendary Biblecode Sundays took the stage, raising the roof with fan favourites like Maybe It’s Because I’m an Irish Londoner and The Green and Red of Harrow. The energy in the room was electric, with the crowd knowing every word and belting out each song in unison.

Finally, the night’s headliners, The Tumbling Paddies, took to the stage to a roaring crowd. Their performance was a mix of classics, including a crowd-pleasing rendition of I Want to Dance with Somebody, and some of their original hits that kept the audience on their feet.
