Get ready for an electrifying night as The Tumbling Paddies take the stage in the Osprey Arena at Aviemore Resort on Friday 29 August! One of Ireland’s most exciting live acts, this high-energy band has captivated audiences across the globe with chart-topping hits like The Way I Am and Pretty Girl.

From humble beginnings performing at local pubs and weddings in County Fermanagh, The Tumbling Paddies have steadily grown to become one of Ireland’s most sought-after entertainers. Music has been a lifelong passion for the band, with each member having earned All-Ireland Fleadh Champion medals in their own right.
