Gan Ainm's Christmas Gig

For the first time in many years, Gan Ainm are all around for Christmas. Also for the first time in years, we'll be playing in Molly Malone's, Circular Rd. So for the first time in many years, you'll get to see Gan Ainm performing Fairytale of New York at the correct time of year. The making merry and festive celebrations start this Friday 19th December at 9pm down at Molly Malone's. Nollaig shona!

Gan Ainm Mark the Half Way to Paddy's Day

This Saturday marks the half year mark from which we begin the countdown to Paddy's Day 2015! So obviously, therefore, here is half a leprechaun...it's like half leprechaun, half sexy woman. Because according to our marketing strategy, there is a high correlation between people who like drinking beer in large quantities in Irish pubs and people who like both leprechauns and sexy women...

So anyway the basic message you are expected to extract from that is come down to Muddy Murphy's to see Gan Ainm play at 9:30pm this Saturday 13th September. Also there will be beards.

Disclaimer: Leprechauns, sexy women and half leprechauns half sexy women not included. Any resemblance to any person, living, dead or your Mam are entirely coincidental.

Gan Ainm Introduces Muddy's to Our New Guitarist

Gan Ainm are positively ecstatic at the imminent prospect of introducing to Muddy Murphy's our brand new guitarist this Saturday (26th July 2014) at 9pm. It is of course fitting that we do so this Saturday, which is naturally the Maldivian Independence Day.

Disclaimer: The gig may not necessarily have anything whatsoever to do with the Maldivian Independence Day celebrations, official or otherwise. Also our guitarist may not necessarily look anything like this twat.

Gan Ainm - Big in Japan

Gan Ainm are going where no celtic band have gone before - a Japanese bar...in Chinatown...in Singapore. And we're bringing you all with us! We will be supported by the most aurally and visually pleasing band, Fig Jam. The show kicks off at 9 but you'll want to get down there by at least 8:30 to build up stockpiles of happy hour drinks.

Come down and support Gan Ainm as we play our first gig at Mariko's, 4 Jiak Chuan Road this Thursday, 17th April.

Happy Cosmonautics Day / Bryan McFadden's Birthday!

Celebrate this historic day when Westlife heartthrob, Bryan McFadden, came into the world, and Soviet Union military heartthrob, Yuri Gagarin left it for a quick spin out in space. How? By joining Gan Ainm down at Muddy Murphy's for a few daycent choons (decent tunes) and brewskis (beverages) this Saturday at 9:30pm. We'll have a complete spacer playing guitar so it's bound to be out of this world! ;)

Where will you be for Paddy's Day???

Want to be here?...

Only a week to go to a very long weekend of blurry green-tinged experiences that you can't really remember afterwards. Where will you be? Wish you could be in Ireland for the parade? You're not missing much - just a few old rusty tractors puttering down the street in the rain. 

...or here?

You're better off down at Muddy Murphy's with Gan Ainm where Paddy's Day has been completely off the wall for the last few years since we took over! Every night from Thursday 13th March right up to St Patrick's Day itself on Monday 17th March we'll be blasting out some choons that are not recommended for anyone with a heart condition. On Sunday 16th we'll be starting bright and early at 2pm and going till late - just enough time for people to drag themselves out of bed after spending Saturday night with us! All the timings for the week are here.

This year is going to be particularly wild as you might say Gan Ainm have "gone electric". A few years ago we introduced bass and drums into the equation and our sound exploded. Now we've taken it to the next level and have Belfast heartthrob, Ignacio Calamari, playing full-on electric guitar that will blow your ears off, but not before we fill them with some of the best known Irish rock/punk/folk songs by bands like U2, The Pogues, Thin Lizzy, Stiff Little Fingers, The Sawdoctors, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Mollys.We've revamped our setlist, learned lots of new songs and thrown a few curveballs like Van Morrison and The Clash in there, just to make sure you're paying attention. And for our long-time fans who might be appalled at the idea of us going electric, don't worry, we're still playing a lot of your old folksy favourites just like we used to - plus we've got an excitable young fella, Jeffrey, on the fiddle now - if you haven't had the chance to see him yet, you'll get exhausted just watching him sawing away at that fiddle.

If you want a sneak preview of what to expect, you can drop down to see us play a short 2-set gig at Muddy's this Sunday (9th March) at 5pm.

So where would you rather be for Paddy's Day?....

Muddy Murphy's, TripleOne Somerset, 111 Somerset Rd. That's where everyone else will be!

Gan Ainm Play at the Oyster Festival

Sunday 9th March - Go down on an oyster at Muddy's at the annual Guinness Oyster Festival. Afterwards, at 5pm, we'll be there to play for you one last time before the madness that is the week building up to St Patrick's Day...watch this space for more details of those gigs...

Last Saturday Gig until Paddy's

The countdown to Paddy's Day has begun and this weekend will be Gan Ainm's last Saturday appearance at Muddy Murphy's before we disappear into the studio to learn some new songs to unveil at Paddy's week. Come down for a pint at 9pm to see us off!

Gan Ainm's Gong Xie Fa Cai Gig / St Bridget's Day

Happy new year! In a matter of hours, the young stallions from Gan Ainm will be welcoming in the year of the horse down at Muddy Murphy's at Somerset 111 and also celebrating the 2nd (and slightly more obscure) patron saint of Ireland, St Bridget's Day. They welcome you to join them for another rollicking good show at 9:30pm tonight (1 February 2014).

Gan Ainm Plays the Grand Opening of Muddy Murphy's

Although the new Muddy Murphy's has been "softly" opened now for months, the time has come to open it hard - officially that is - with an hour of free booze! Then, once all that free booze has settled safely into your bloodstreams and ours, we have been tasked with entertaining you all for a few hours. This should be fun! We'll be playing tomorrow (Thursday 16 Jan) from 9pm till late - we'll see you all down there for a pint or three at 7pm!
