What people say about The Irish Wakers:

The Irish Wakers played to a sold-out audience for the White Rock Irish Club. Members were entertained with a brilliant selection of traditional Irish music. There was great energy in the room and the music was enjoyed and appreciated by all.

I really enjoyed your music at the Feed the Hungry event. It was the first time that I heard the Irish Wakers and I must say that I was very impressed.

Patrick and I wanted to give you and the band a HUGE thank you for the wonderful music at the wedding. Everyone really enjoyed it. The live music was such a compliment to the celebration. We received many compliments from our guests. I could not have asked for more. I will happily leave the band a review so others know how wonderful you were.

The Irish sessions performed by the Wakers have been very pleasant for our customers and staff alike. The Wakers performed here on St. Patrick’s Day and many of our customers asked to have the hockey game turned down and the Irish session turned up!!

The Irish Wakers play very uplifting music. It really lifts the spirits!

Great music – I couldn’t keep my feet from tapping all night!
