History

While playing in a traditional music session in Fermoy on New Years Day 2012 childhood friends, Paudie O' Brien and Eoin Murphy were introduced to young piper. Murphy had recently left the band Refresh and they decided to put something more formal together. Soon afterwards percussionist Eamonn Mulholland was recruited and the band played their first official gig at a private party for Irish football legend John Aldridge.

The Buachaills' next break came when they were spotted by a promoter and asked to support The High Kings as part of their Irish tour. Following this they won a major RTÉ competition on The John Murray Show and were selected to play at Castlepalooza.

In September 2012 The Buachaills reached the world stage when the played as part of the half time show of the 2012 All Ireland Football Final In November 2013 they toured Germany where they now have a large fanbase.

During the Summer of 2013 O'Brien and Mulholland were replaced by former Aftershok bass player James Fleming and Drummer Chris Carey who played with Exit the Streets along with The Frank and Walters' Rory Murphy and Toy Soldiers' Cian Walsh.
