The Achill Lads are a folk-acoustic duo made up of two proud Achill natives, Cian McNamara and Michael Lavelle. Growing up on the wild west coast of Ireland, music was always part of the picture — from house sessions to local pubs and windswept festivals. Blending classic Irish ballads, modern folk, and a few surprises along the way, their sound is full of heart, harmony, and a bit of island soul. Whether it’s a stripped-back acoustic set or a lively night of sing-alongs, The Achill Lads bring good vibes and a real love for what they do. Friends first, musicians second — they play like they mean it and always leave a bit of Achill in the room when they’re done.
