Today's featured entertainers: The Bogside Rogues

The veteran Irish rock group, Bogside Rogues, is based in the Philadelphia area and is known for an upbeat sound and traditional roots.


These guys perform a variety of Irish and Celtic styles including ballads, rebel songs, Ceili and contemporary Irish songs.

Featuring Accordion/Tin Whistle, Guitar, Bass and Drums, each of the band's members have come together from different Celtic music backgrounds to form a striking live sound that has won over audiences wherever they go, and inspired many other musicians to take up instruments in order to continue the tradition.
