SHAMROCK SHOWBAND are a psychedelic country and Irish band.
Jamie Bishop (MUCKNO, Jinx Lennon) on guitar, samplers and synthesizers, Conor McAuley (DUG) on fiddle, and Joel Harkin (Pedal & Lever Society) on pedal steel guitar. They hail from the border counties and are currently based in Belfast.
SHAMROCK SHOWBAND’s sound is built on their fascination with country and Irish records, old time American fiddle music, sampling and punk.
They released their debut self-titled album on bandcamp in May 2025 and are releasing their sophomore album ‘Shankill Road Mission’ on June 17th.
