The West End Sessions present The Barleyshakes on Saturday July 16.

Brewed in Ireland and distilled in Australia the Barleyshakes are a Celtic band with world music influences who combine intense energy, beautiful harmony and driving dance rhythms in their live performances. Adored throughout Australia and beyond for their “bent” Irish sound, they are winners of the Queensland Music Award for World Music, and popular regulars at Woodford Folk Festival.

The West End Sessions is an alcohol-free listening room right in the heart of the cafe and bar district of West End, Brisbane (book for dinner before or after a show!). The music featured includes folk, acoustic, jazz and world music from around the world.
