Our history
Celtic Craic was started by Tom with a few friends and family in the mid 90s in a local church hall in Gravesend, Kent, UK. Having many line ups and playing gigs for over 20 years mainly in Kent but also around the UK, playing for the Irish Embassy in London and the U.S.A the band certainly had a brilliant reputation. Toms nephew Matt joined the band towards the end of the 90s and Toms grandson Ash joined the band on a few occasions throughout the mid 2010s. After an almost 10 year hiatus at the start of 2025, 2 members of Toms family, Ash on guitar and Matt on the Bodhran made the decision to start going to a few open mics and playing a few of the old songs, after receiving a positive reaction from everywhere they played, they decided to bring the band back again using the band name and Tom joining on occasions.
