We're excited to announce a touring acoustic folk music project hosted by yours truly!
Crikwater invites you to join the band
Around the table with pint in hand
Bring a drum, guitar and strings
Story to tell or song to sing
Or if you'd like, sit back and hear
With friends and whiskey, wine or beer
Each month we'll play a different pub
All are welcome in this club
So string up your fiddle and rosin your bow
Grab a friend and off we go to:

Check out this review of our most recent album....published by the web-zine London Celtic Punks on 27 Dec 2017...
"...their mix of elegant ballads and rowdy pub songs is certainly among the best I have heard in recent years and they are almost certainly ready to give the big hitters of the Irish folk scene in America a run for their money."
We wish all of our Crikfans well this Holiday Season as we anticipate the coming of 2018. Finding ourselves at the close of another great year. we reflect back fondly on all the great memories...all the friends new and old who shared in and contributed to all of our fun and revelry in 2017. We love you all and look forward to each and every opportunity to share a pint (or ten) with you in the coming months.
We have a few surprises in store for 2018....new venues and opportunities for us all to get together to join in the merriment and make new and exciting memories. The craic will be mighty!
Slainte,
Crikwater
