Their music is a mixture of Irish ballads, foot tapping pub songs, popular newies and the occasional Irish jig.

It is a tribute to their popularity that 30 years after their first performance, at the Astra Hotel in Durban, they are still one of South Africa’s top five acts. In fact their history goes back even further as they served their musical apprenticeship playing in the Irish "Showbands" for 10 years before arriving on South African soil.

The Blarney Brothers established their enduring and endearing name by playing at "The Barn" in The Athlone Hotel, Durban every Wed. and Fri. for 13 years. Since finishing there in 1991 they are now travelling further and further afield, often driving more than 10,000 km's a month all over South Africa and neighboring states such as Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho and even as far as Malawi.

The Band has also performed internationally with great success. They have played in Taiwan, Hong Kong,Shanghai,Macau, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Australia and the UK.
