The Malarkeys are a Celtic rock band from Kelowna, B.C.. We have performed up and down the Okanagan valley since our first performance on St. Patrick's Day in 2007. In 2008 and again in 2013 we performed in Vancouver as part of that city's CelticFest.

Serving up a mixture of favourites that are immediately familiar to fans of contemporary Irish and Celtic music, our tightly knit unit of experienced musicians deliver a lively and entertaining show.

Hey, while you're here, watch the video for "Work is the Curse". Good times!

NEWS: Christmas is Coming to Harrington Lane is available now on all the mainstream streaming services here. The song is featured on Joe's Country Kingdom internet radio show out of Cork. You can also hear us on Accuradio's Celtic Rock radio playlist. They love their Celtic music in Accuradio's hometown of Chicago, and the band is thrilled to be on their playlist once again. If you'd like to hear the new song and see the lyric video right now, go to Youtube. In August 2011, the band's album Bloody Brilliant was added to Glasgow's 1530AM.
