Murphy’s Pigs

Presented by Swinesong Entertainment Pty Ltd

#Lock Up Your Troughs

Across twenty years, the band has earned multiple Australian Celtic Music Awards and back-to-back People’s Choice Awards at the 2024 and 2025 Australian Folk Music Awards. In 2024, the Celtic Council of Australia honoured them for their passionate promotion of Celtic culture at home and abroad. Count on some rousing classics, contemporary favourites, originals, and the high-energy force of their award-winning dancers, The Piglets.  

Local ‘Americana’ band, Rusty Pickups, will be upping the ante and opening the show. They haven’t smashed the charts, gone viral or applied for reality TV… yet they keep appearing with the biggest & best.  

With trademark wit and theatrical flair, Murphy’s Pigs invite you to share a night of unforgettable Celtic revelry.
