The Undiscovered Talent that was Shillelagh



Originating in Victoria, Shillelagh was made up of 8 people, then 7 and finally the number fell to 4. They disbanded a couple of years ago. The lead singer Bryan Skinner went into local politics.

They have a website that is no longer running. I could not find any references to them online. It's as if they had disappeared off the face of the earth. Except for the two CDs I have, there is nothing left.

The summers of 2001,2002 and 2003 found them busking where all the tourists were. Working close to there, I would go listen to them during lunch breaks. They were awesome. As I play my CDs now, I miss listening to them live.
