Circle J

Circle J have been playing their folk infused punk since 2002 and their infectious mix of stomping punk and sing-along folktales has been steadily gaining momentum. Their first full-blown album ‘Fat Man’s Chest’ (2007) made Paddyrock.com’s top 20 album list and was well-received among critics and folk punk fans alike. It was followed up by the recent ‘Weekend Warriors’ (2010), another treasure trove of folk punk pearls featuring an awe-inspiring arsenal of battle drums, roaring bass and guitars, bagpipes, accordion, banjo, mandolin, cross flute and tin whistle that will knock your socks off and leave you thirsty for more. ‘Weekend Warriors’ will see the band crashing the shores of Japan and may well have them storming a stage near you.
On stage, this fearsome fivesome sparkles with energy and fun. So sharpen your axes, put on your dancin’ boots and join the Mighty Circle J for a fine bout of folk punk frenzy. When you’re in the audience, there’s really only one thing you can do: Grab your pint, put your fist in the air, and just scream along!
