In just a couple of years Canberra's ‘Celtic big band’, Humbug, has established itself as a truly popular and accomplished performer of Celtic folk music. With distinctive vocal harmonies and rich instrumental backing, Humbug’s material ranges from poignant Robbie Burns’ songs, to haunting traditional Irish and Scottish ballads and rousing renditions of favourite Celtic ‘sing-alongs’. 

Since getting together in 2007, the band has grown to become Canberra’s own Celtic big band and regularly play at the Canberra Burns Club and The Merry Muse folk club. Festival credits include Beechworth Celtic Festival, Music at the Creek, the National Folk Festival, Turning Wave Festival and the inaugural Snowy Mountains of Music and Tuross Music Festivals.

Humbug members love a singalong and welcome the opportunity to use their experience to conduct singing sessions at festivals, clubs and parties. Their combined backgrounds - conducting and performing in community choirs and singing and playing various styles of folk and country music for 35 years - ensure a fun-filled singalong.  Please contact us for further details!
