About Us
The Rascals, a Galway-based band, are Pádraic Joyce (vocals/guitar), Niall Teague (vocals/piano accordion, guitar) and Paddy Jordan (vocals/double bass). The focus of the band is on three-part male harmony and the setlist reflects this, featuring songs from Crosby Stills and Nash, The Beatles, The Fleet Foxes, Neil Young and many more. For larger events or gigs Terry Cooke plays drums and Kenneth Keary plays keyboards.
Pádraic Joyce
One of Galway's best acoustic guitar players with a unique style, Pádraic has played with many bands over the years. Time with the folk/rock outfit 'Breakdown Rambler' was followed by a long-term and continuing run backing singer-songwriter Tracey Bruen. Pádraic's acoustic picking and vocals are a crucial part of the sound of The Rascals. He also does the bookings, so if you want to contact us, you can contact Padraic by phone or email:
