About Irish Rovers

The Irish Rovers are a Canadian folk group founded in 1963, known for their lively and spirited music. They have enjoyed a long career with numerous hits, including 'The Unicorn' and 'Wasn't That a Party.' Their music often reflects their Irish heritage, blending traditional folk sounds with a modern twist.

Their songs frequently explore the rich tapestry of naval discipline traditions and sea shanty culture. They also delve into the camaraderie and bonding among sailors, often with a humorous take on drunken mishaps and playful nods to Scottish kilt stereotypes. Their work provides a vibrant, often humorous, portrayal of seafaring life and cultural folklore.
