The Turf Burners

THE TURF BURNERS

Celebrating the friendships made in music

Having met in the Irish sessions around Boston, Peter Hale, Hannah Gathman and Tim O'Toole banded together in 2023 to share the music they love. From lively jigs and reels to crowd favorites from The Clancy Brothers, The Dubliners and The Pogues to songs from modern acts like Amble, Glen Hansard and Damien Dempsey, these multi-instrumentalists tap into the living traditions of Ireland, Scotland and beyond.

Proven entertainers, The Turf Burners engage the audience to get them singing and dancing along.
