Our Story!!!

Rakes of Killarney is a merry band of fools that was formed in 1983 by Ted Kennedy, Mic Finnerty, Patrick Rafferty, and Aideen Finnerty. This lively Pub Band haunts the Green Rooms of Connecticut, Western Massacusetts, and Southern Vermont with a mix of traditional classic Irish songs and Irish American favorites.  Rakes of Killarney can perform as a duo up to a seven-piece ensemble!!!! Rakes of Killarney will incite Gallic revellers from humor, through shock and into delerium! Currently this group is a duo with Ted Kennedy (whistles, horns, squeezebox, & vocals) and Sean Callaghan (guitar, banjo, & vocals). Additional leprechauns are available to enlarge the band!!!!
