Biography
The Wakes are a Glasgow Irish Folk'n Roll bunch of Hooligans and Outlaws. We might all be Jock Tamson's Bairns but our mother is Roisin Dubh. Glasgow-Irish in word and deed The Wakes embrace their culture, heritage and surroundings in song. Covering all manner of subjects from immigration and unemployment, to uprising and rebellion in Scotland, Ireland and beyond.
Writing their own songs as well as performing traditional ballads and tunes, The Wakes bridge the gap between the Irish who landed here many years ago and those who live here today.
