Creating a Party to Remember
We are Flannery, a bunch of rockin’, rugged men from Groningen, the Netherlands. We wear kilts, and we make happy, up-beat melodic folk-rock. The unique core of our music is the bagpipes, but we won’t make your average Auld Lang Syne stuff. Although our influences are traditional Scottish, Celtic, and Irish folk music, we Flannerise our songs, and decorate them with a bagpipe tune. We change between instrumental, and vocal songs, just to keep your party going!
Flannery started out in 2012, during a big festival in the Netherlands. Denny “500” Myles, the piper, expanded his bagpipes band The Myles Brothers with friends, to offer a broader range of folk rock music. Soon after, Flannery was founded. Currently, the band consists of Denny on bagpipes, Tim on drums, Steven on lead guitar and backing vocals, Arrie on bass guitar, and Martin on lead vocals. Since 2012, we had performances throughout The Netherlands, from Hellevoetsluis to Tytsjerk. Also, we toured around Europe on several occasions, and rocked in Italy, in Germany, Belgium and even Ukraine!
