The Gathering
Fronted by award-winning Irish musician Mick McHugh, The Gathering is a powerhouse of contemporary Irish-Australian musicianship. Known for putting their own unique stamp on Celtic music, the band delivers high-energy, kick-arse performances that bring audiences to their feet. They’ve recorded for ABC Music, amassed over 3 million Spotify streams, toured internationally, and lit up major festivals across Australia.
With a sound that blends rousing Celtic songs, toe-tapping trad tunes, and a dash of crowd-favourite covers, The Gathering pride themselves on creating an atmosphere where everyone feels part of band. Mick says it best: ‘The Gathering is THE CRAIC!’
From intimate folk venues to large festival stages, their shows are a whirlwind of fiddles, guitars, percussion, and harmonies, all tied together by infectious energy and genuine connection with the crowd. Whether you’re Irish by birth, heritage, or just in spirit, The Gathering will have you singing, dancing, and grinning ear to ear.
