Rogue Diplomats Celtic Band from Bethlehem, PA

"Doing jolly justice to the legends of Irish music." Lehigh Valley Style Magazine "Ignore the name. They are neither rogues nor diplomats; but they ARE a talented high energy group of entertainers suitable for any occasion except, possibly, a snooty, high society wedding. Or an AA meeting." - Seamus Kennedy The Rogue Diplomats are an Irish-American Pub Band based in New York City & Bethlehem, PA. Their unique blend of contemporary folk and traditional Irish music is delivered with charm and off-the-cuff humor. They got their start in Astoria, Queens, playing annual St. Patrick's Day shows at Blackbird's Bar. They've since gone on to play Bloomsday on Broadway, the annual celebration of the works of James Joyce at Symphony Space in NYC and a multitude of pubs in New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. The Diplomats have also headlined at Musikfest, the Annual Celtic Classic Highland Games & Festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and the Celtic Fling & Highland Games at Mount Hope. Their self-titled debut EP is available on iTunes & Amazon Music.

The Rogue Diplomats offer a range of entertainment from Family shows appropriate for all ages to boisterous R-Rated performances filled with wry humor, colorful language, and "drinking game" songs appropriate for the over 21 crowd. The band can be hired as small as a trio and as large as a 5 member ensemble.
