DESCRIPTION:Irish folk with a punk attitude\n\nThis is the concert on Frida
	y\, January 29. The Mary Walloppers is also giving a\nconcert on Saturday\
	, January 30\n[https://www.paradiso.nl/en/program/the-mary-wallopers/29262
	04?token=Q3K_qnmZuqZ-vI-tNhNnotU4x_9ZK5He].\n\nThe Mary Wallopers breathe 
	new life into Irish folk songs\, without smoothing out\nthe rough edges. T
	he band from Dundalk began during the COVID-19 lockdown with\nlive streams
	 from the living room of brothers Charles and Andrew Handy. What\nstarted 
	as a trio grew into a six-piece band\, featuring banjo\, accordion\, tin\n
	whistle\, uilleann pipes and drums. Traditional songs and protest tunes ar
	e given\ndriving rhythms and loose harmonies\, ensuring the music remains 
	true to the\nIrish folk tradition whilst retaining the directness of punk.
	\n\nThe songs deal with working-class life\, the housing crisis and resist
	ance to\nexploitation. Humour and politics blend effortlessly: old Irish f
	olk tunes are\nnot treated as museum pieces\, but as stories that still ha
	ve something to say.\nOn 18 September\, their third album ‘Paddywhackery’ 
	is released\, recorded in two\nweeks with James Skelly of The Coral. On tr
	acks such as ‘Landlord’s Demise’\,\n‘Crowns of England’ and ‘The Big Mixer
	’\, The Mary Wallopers sound fuller and\nmore powerful. At the same time\,
	 the core remains the same: using songs from the\nIrish tradition to say s
	omething about life today.
