There will be more than Irish eyes smiling when the Mick O'Toole Band tune up for a Christmas Eve party.
The Celtic punk band, based in Calne, play a mix of Irish classics and their own original songs in fiesty punk rock fashion from 9pm at The Rolleston, Commercial Road on Christmas Eve.
The band are named after a song performed by fellow Calne-ites, the English Celtic rock group, The Boys From County Hell, whose line-up includes former Swindon landlord and current music promoter Dave Young.
Musicians in the Mick O'Toole Band are accordion, banjo and lead vocals: Johnny Reprobate, drums: Jamie Squires, guitar: Tyler Shurmer, mandolin/vocals: Ronnie Casanova and bass and vocals: Guy Shergold.
The boys will sing songs from their debut EP Deep In Cyder and their latest EP 1665 Pitchfork Rebellion along with some old Irish cider-swilling favourites.
The band have a loyal following and a swelling fan base which is increased by support slots with bands such as the UK Subs.
The Christmas Eve party is free entry. For more details 01793 534238 or visit http://www.therollestonarms.co.uk/the-rolleston-arms - Flicky Harrison
