The Mary Wallopers

The Mary Wallopers are a dynamic Irish folk-punk band from Dundalk, led by brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy. Gaining attention during lockdown through lively YouTube trad sessions, they quickly grew into a global live sensation. Their music mixes rowdy, political energy with deep emotional storytelling, blending old Irish songs and original tracks. Known for their chaotic, high-energy gigs and rebellious charm, the band has toured extensively across the UK, US, and Europe. With albums like Irish Rock ‘n’ Roll, they continue to push Irish folk into bold, contemporary territory.
