Mórga, John Bowe, Mick O'Connor, Pete Quinn

Energy, passion, respect and fun are four words that sum up the musical mission statement behind Mórga. Four friends, all virtuoso musicians, on a mission to bring together the wild energy of the Irish-American dance bands of the roaring 20s, the sound of the Irish traditional music revival of the 70s, and the excitement of the best pub session imaginable.

Growing out of the rich Galway music scene, Mórga (Irish for majestic) was formed in 2008. Since then Mórga have toured extensively, appearing at highly respected festivals throughout Ireland and Europe, as well as on Irish television and radio.

Mórga’s second album For the Sake of Auld Decency was released in 2014. It is a raucous celebration of the band members’ musical roots and influences.
