Back in 2017, little did Killarney sisters Patrice O’Connor (Davern) and Clodagh McCarthy know that the sing-song after Patrice’s wedding would become a viral sensation.

 

Now with over 100 million views worldwide, the girls have already recorded a number of tracks, which are available to download on Spotify, to satisfy demand, particularly from the American market.

 

The video, featuring Patrice and Clodagh’s vocals, was even recently re-mixed into a dance floor tune by a UK based DJ.

 

Their latest venture is to take their live music to America, as the girls have been asked to perform at the upcoming Irish Fest in the Barn event, which takes place in the Sugarland Barn, Arena in Madison, Wisconsin on May 26.

 

Patrice and Clodagh will perform in front of thousands of concert goers at the event which includes dance, culture and music and is set on a pastoral farm, encouraging families to bring picnics and enjoy the entertainment.

 

Patrice and Clodagh aka ‘The Rattlin Bog Sisters’, were contacted by American music promoter Bonnie Sommers-Olsen to play at the event due to their popularity online, particularly with an American audience, and they will perform a music set backed by an American band, alongside popular local, regional and international acts, including Boxing the Compass, the Moxie Strings, West Wind, Rising Gael, Trian and Jig Jam.
