The Malarkeys are a Celtic folk rock band from Kelowna, B.C.. We have performed up and down the Okanagan valley since our first performance on St. Patrick's Day in 2007. In 2008 and again in 2013 we performed in Vancouver as part of that city's CelticFest.

We serve up a mixture of favourites that are immediately familiar to fans of contemporary Irish and Celtic music, along with a few surprises!
