We were invited on to the University for their student series- "Sounds of the Valley". We were able to share with the viewers about the Christmas Irish Session this Saturday at Lazy Monk from 4-6, and the roots of when we started in 2010 at Houligans Steak and Seafood pub- and about our new release of the original live Christmas dinner show- now online everywhere!

(Wow that red is BRIGHT!!!!) But so is the happiness you will feel whilst listening to this LIVE Christmas Album from your favorite bunch of lads. Starting next week, you can pre-order this to make it your very own. "A Shillelagh Lads' Christmas" will be released to the world on Friday, November 28th on all streaming places. These were recorded over December in 2010 during our Christmas dinner concerts in downtown Eau Claire, and feature the wit and charm of our early Lad's crew, and some of our friends (Michael Van Hemert, Shane Leonard, Jacob Henry, Joseph Maurer, Kinzy Janssen, Michael O'Claire). So grab a cup-a-cheer, get in your favorite Christmas sweater, and nestle in. If you do not laugh by the end of the album, I will get you your money back.... somehow...
