Brothers Charles and Andrew Hendy and their friend Sean Mckenna formed The Mary Wallopers as a three-piece ballad group traveling the length and breadth of Ireland singing & collecting songs.
Their early live performances exuded a raw energy and their first five track ep - 2019’s A Mouthful Of The Mary Wallopers - perfectly captured their sound and ethos, one filled with warmth, intimacy, chaos and enough sparks ready to light any fire. The band recently expanded to a seven piece for live performances. "The Mary Wallopers' trademark charm and irreverence is matched only by their staggering talent" Hotpress “The Mary Wallopers invokes the raucous ghosts of The Dubliners and The Pogues to startling effect” The Guardian
